Synopsis

After moving in a more formally restrained, classical direction with The Piano and Portrait of a Lady, Jane Campion returned to the offbeat style of her breakthrough feature, Sweetie, with this wild, weird and wonderful tale of spiritual, philosophical and sexual confusion. Kate Winsle t stars as a young Australian woman who believes she has found true enlightenment in a religious sect in India. Her family disagrees and hires a n American cult "deprogrammer" (Harvey Keitel) to bring her back to her senses . What follows is a most original battle of the wills, which takes some truly unexpected twists and turns. Exuberant and often quite funny, Holy Smoke< /i> is an appropriately complex view of the struggle to reconcile individuality with the expectations of society. Pam Grier appears as Keitel's girlfriend. Jane Campion---Australia/USA---1999---114 mins.
