Holy Smoke: Filmed in India and the Austrailian Outback, and directed by New Zealander Jane Campion, Holy Smoke is proving to be just as much as expected and more. Holy Smoke is based on the book, by the same title, written by Jane and Anna Campion. It is actually directed by Jane Campion (The Piano & Sweetie). The movie returns to the genre of Campion's first film, Sweetie, which she received acclaim for in 1989.

The story is of a 20 year old young woman, played by Kate Winslet, from Austrailia who visits India with a friend. She actually is so caught up in the sights, sounds, and smells of India that she tears up her return ticket and decides to "marry" the leader of a cult. It is then that the family is informed and show up in India to take her home. At home a deprogrammer, PJ Waters, played by Harvey Keitel, awaits her return.

PJ Waters is actually an older "macho" American who believes that in 12 hours he'll be able to convince Ruth, Kate Winslet, of the stupidity of the cult. PJ quickly realises though that his match has been made.

The film has been loved and hated by the audiences and critics. Ms. Winslet's performance has had nothing short of miraculous things written about it since it's premiere in Venice in September of 1999.
