Austin Magruder - Babett's Feast
If you won the lottery what would you do? I do not know many people who would answer that question with, spend it all on one dinner for ten near strangers. Babett however shows true selflessness, Sending for all of the finest ingredients with wines for every course from france, she feeds the group. Amazingly they think she is the devil and is trying to poison them with evil, so if they can eat the food and not comment on it, they won't be subject to the evil. They adore the food, and not being able to comment on it, they talk about their own lives and bond as a community again. The old ladies sipping wine and licking their lips is great. You can see the joy in their eyes, but the angst of knowing it is "evil". Babett is able to bring together a community throught the love of food.
