If you're an artist, or love art, see Babette's Feaste. Seriously. Just see it. Just in case my recommendation isn't enough, which it really should be, I include the following quotes from the film:
"Mercy and truth have met together. Righteousness and bliss shall kiss one another. Man, in his weakness and shortsightedness believes he must make choices in his life. He trembles at the risks he takes. We do know fear. But, no. Our choice is of no importance. There comes a time when your eyes are opened. And we come to realize that mercy is infinite. We need only await it with confidence and receive it with gratitude. Mercy imposes no conditions. And, lo! Everything we have chosen has been granted to us. And everything we rejected has also been granted. Yes, we even get back what we rejected. For mercy and truth are met together. And righteousness and bliss shall kiss one another."
Woman: "But dear Babette, you should not have given all you owned for us."
Babette: "It was not just for you."
Woman: "Now you'll be poor the rest of your life."
Babette: "An artist is never poor."

Phillip Yancey wrote about it in his book "What's so Amazing about Grace?", and I've wanted to see it ever since.

In Danish though? It's like Hamlet all over again.

What a great movie! Jeffrey Overstreet has some great comments about it in his book on movies, Through a Screen Darkly.
