{"product_id":"babettes-feast","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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251021304152,"sku":"9781911239673","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781911239673_afab9778-0849-4693-b3e3-c2f3d304986d.jpg?v=1770873325","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/babettes-feast","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
