Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema
"The wages of cinema is death."
A movie podcast where theology meets banter.
In each episode, we discuss a film that we love (or love to hate). We explore it through a series of prompts, like "Who would you pray for in this movie?" or "Would this movie be better with Kirk Cameron?"
It's part movie review, part spiritual reflection. All good times.
Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema
18. Babette's Feast by Gabriel Axel
At first glance, Babette’s Feast, the 1987 Danish cinematic masterpiece, might seem like a simple story. You might even find yourself thinking, “It’s just a movie about people sharing a meal.”
But we’re going on record to say that Babette’s Feast is one of the most awe-inspiring portraits of the Kingdom of God ever captured on film. It’s a rich tale of unrequited love, the pursuit of passion, quiet sacrifice, and, of course, the sacred act of breaking bread together amongst friends.
Today, we explore this deeply spiritual and quietly stunning film, and we’re so glad to have you join us at the table.
Thanks for listening!
