Jane Campion | Australia, USA | 1999 | 115m
with Kate Winslet, Harvey Keitel

Acclaimed New Zealand director Jane Campion brings Harvey Keitel and Kate Winslet together in this scandalous romantic drama set in Australia.

When Ruth Barron is brainwashed by cult leader Baba on a trip to India, her parents take action with the help of religious cult deprogrammer P.J. Waters. What follows is a psychosexual tug-of-war.

Features a soundtrack from Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks).

"Ten years and four features after the film that put her on the map, Jane Campion returns to the freewheeling style and idiosyncratic humor of "Sweetie" in perhaps her most challenging work to date, "Holy Smoke." This often difficult film about family, relationships, sexual politics, spiritual questing, faith and obsession further explores the director's abiding fascinations in excitingly unconventional terms." - David Rooney (writing in 1999), Variety

Winner: Elvira Notari Prize - Venice Film Festival, 1999
