As divided by kathismata, the psalm featured in the 1987 film Babette’s Feast is the final psalm of fourteen chanted Wednesday mornings. By this numbering, Psalm LXXXIV ends the eleventh kathisma: “Mercy and truth are met together, righteousness and peace have kissed each other” [translated from the Greek Septuagint by Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Boston, Massachusetts, 2010].
The film has been in mind this week—and rewatched (only second time)—for its mention in Cynthia Bourgeault’s most recent book, Eye of the Heart, which begins with an encounter involving a Greek man and a boat. Though in rewatching the film, it also brings to mind the timings of its release: Cannes Film Festival in May 1987, New York Film Festival in October 1987, and the USA release March 4, 1988.
Wikipedia cites several 2019 articles about a remake interest to be set in Minnesota, directed by Alexander Payne who is of Greek descent, born to restaurant owners in Omaha, Nebraska.
