{"product_id":"babettes-feast-9781911239673","title":"Babette's Feast","description":"On the face of it, Gabriel Axel's\u003ci\u003e Babette's Feast\u003c\/i\u003e (1989) is a film in which the eyes - and mouths - of religious zealots are opened to the glories of the sensual world. It is a critique of what Nietzsche called life-denying religion in favour of life-affirming sensuality. But to view the film in that way is to get it profoundly wrong. In his study of the film, Julian Baggini argues that \u003ci\u003eBabette's Feast\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911239673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Julian Baggini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38470900580533,"sku":"9781911239673","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e8fa4272-192a-472b-b50f-488c9c85ab0a.jpg?v=1612927575","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/babettes-feast-9781911239673","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
