An Artist Is Never Poor
A Little Connections conversation through the lens of Babette’s Feast
Bernard and I have been having conversations about spirituality through the lens of films. I suggested we watch Babette’s Feast. Bernard wasn’t sure he would like it after seeing the trailer, and it took both of us a little time to appreciate the film.
It touched us both deeply, and we tried to enter our dialogue from that same place. We’re sharing the conversation in two parts.
Bernard and I talk about what it means to live as an artist, the ache of time passing, and how a gift given all the way can change the atmosphere.
By offering what is most alive in her, Babette transforms the feast into a sacrament that rekindles hearts.
What does the film stir in you?
