On the face of it, Gabriel Axel's Babette's Feast (1989) is a film in which the eyes and mouths of religious zealots are opened to the glories of the sensual world.

In his study of the film, Julian Baggini argues that Babette's Feast is not about the battle between religiosity and secularity but a deep examination of how the two can come together. Baggini's analysis focuses on themes of love, pleasure, artisty and grace, to provide a rich philosophical reading of this most sensual of films.
