Holy Smoke!

This film seems intentionally cartoonish and is clunkily written.  Jane Campion’s bad taste strikes again!  This poor attempt at confronting and confounding gender roles is as sloppy and inadequate as Harvey Keitel in a dress.  Kate Winslet gives a decent performance in spite of it all, and the concept of the movie would have been quite interesting if it had been pursued or developed in any meaningful or intelligent way.  I WANT to see a movie where Kate Winslet gets deprogrammed from a cult by Harvey Keitel.  Make THAT movie!  Also, what a waste of Pam Grier’s time and talents.
