The battle of the sexes takes on a whole new twist...in Academy Award-winner Jane Campion's scandalous new film!

"A duel of wills and bodies between two of the biggest hit ters in power acting, Kate Winslet and Harvey Keitel! 'Holy Smoke!' is Jane Campion's most accessible box office mix." Alexander Walker, London Evening Standard

"Magnetic! Kate Winslet could be Oscar-nominated! If you loved her in 'Titanic', you'll be stunned by her in 'Holy Smoke!'." Liz Smith, New York Post

"A brilliant exploration! ...of that corner of the mind where spirituality and sexuality often get their signals crossed. Easily the best, richest and most courageous performance of the talented Kate Winslet's young career. Harvey Keitel is mesmerizing!" Jack Mathews, New York Daily News

"Kate Winslet is stunning! She brings a powerfully carnal presence to her role. Shot so beautifully by Dion Beebe that it seems bathed in divine light. 'Holy Smoke!' has a sensual allure." Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"Riotously unforgettable! 'Holy Smoke!' explores the battle of the sexes with way-out humor and great tenderness!" Dennis Dermody, Paper Magazine

"Wondrous! Brilliantly acted by Harvey Keitel! This is that rarity, a serious comedy that goes to the limit in both directions!" James Christopher, The London Times
