I thoroughly enjoyed watching ‘Babette’s feast.’ It was an intriguing film. The story line and the plot kept me invested and interested throughout the entire film. And as I reached the end, I couldn’t help but be amazed as to how they wrapped it all up. In this class we have enjoyed many films, films of different natures.
