Kate Winslet [SEP] 1997–2003: Stardom with "Titanic" and small-scale features
Writing for "The New York Times", the critic Janet Maslin commended Winslet's decision to follow-up "Titanic" with such an offbeat project, and took note of how well she had captured her character's "obliviousness and optimism". Jane Campion's psychological drama "Holy Smoke!" (1999) featured Winslet as an Australian woman who joins an Indian religious cult. She found the script brave and was challenged by the idea of portraying an unlikable, manipulative woman. She learnt an Australian accent and worked closely with Campion to justify her character's vileness. The film required her to perform explicit sex scenes with her co-star Harvey Keitel, and featured a scene in which her character appears naked and urinates on herself.
