Holy Smoke (1999)
b'Many thanks to Em from the No Ship Network (purveyors of fine podcasts on Vikings, Spartacus, Penny Dreadful, and more) for commissioning this podcast, covering the 1999 psycho-sexual drama, "Holy Smoke".\\xa0Directed by Jane Campion ("The Piano", Top of the Lake") and starring Kate Winslet and Harvey Kietel, it starts off as an intriguing and campy telling of a young girl being deprogrammed from a cult experience, and then... turns into something else entirely.\\xa0Lots of at times uncomfortable discussion about power imbalances in relationships, masculinity and femininity, and what we\'re supposed to take away from the film, if anything.\\xa0Thanks again, Em!\\xa0It was an experience worth experiencing!\\xa0If you\'re curious about the film, it is available on Netflix, Amazon, and iTunes for streaming.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
