Jane Campion, writer and director of the Academy Awards winning feature - The Piano, had made some of the most original and provocative films about women. Holy Smoke is a young woman's journey - and it's a journey from Australia to India and back - through a complex web of emotions: belief, bliss, anger, desire, revenge and re-negotiation. Without sacrificing her quirky interpretations of suburban life, Campion homes her singular vision on the twists and turns of the young woman's religious conversion and re-conversion, ultimately offering a brutal celebration of the war between the sexes. And she does it while inspiring a gut-wrenching performance from Kate Winslet and Harvey Keitel.
