Behind the philosophical smoke burns a genuine comedic fire.

Empire Magazine
...The real story in this underrated original is Keitel's co-star, Kate Winslet. Sexy, snotty, vulnerable, and, above all, contentious, her character is the catalyst...
USA Today
...A high-risk, darkly comic triumph....[The] film traverses a tremendous range of emotional terrain....At once hilarious and serious, cruel and tender, and bristling with vitality, HOLY SMOKE is the right movie for the millennium...
Los Angeles Times
...Winslet and Keitel are both interesting in the film...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: B- --
It's too bad that such an artist of such obvious ambition and power seems inclined to dismiss the greater part of humanity...
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
All sorts of questions go unanswered, and there's little of the density found in Campion's early work; this is mainly smoke, not fire.

Filmmaker Jane Campion has displayed genius, passion, insight, and self-indulgence in her work. Now, she reveals a sense of humor.

Product Description:
In this wildly inventive film from director Jane Campion (THE PIANO), Kate Winslet stars as Ruth, a headstrong Australian woman determined to get back to India in time to join a group marriage to her guru. Her family, hoping to break the cult leader's psychic grip on Ruth, hires P.J. (Harvey Keitel), a macho American deprogramming expert teetering on the brink of a nervous breakdown. A no-holds-barred battle of the psyches, cultures, and sexes ensues as P.J. and Ruth fight, connive, and eventually fall into bed together in what becomes a mutual search for individual truth. The strong performances of the two stars, a hilariously offbeat script (cowritten by Campion and her sister, Anna), and a wealth of delicious, texture-enhancing flourishes (including some surreal bits of computer animation, Pam Grier's work in a small role as P.J.'s partner, and a wild opening sequence set to Neil Diamond's "Holly Holy") combine to make HOLY SMOKE! a weird, winning blend of goofy comedy and hallucinatory mysticism.
