I think the only reason I wanted to see this was because I like Kate Winslet, she's gorgeous, there might be a chance she'd get her clothes off, and this film is the director of The Piano, Jane Campion. Basically religious guru PJ Waters (Harvey Keitel) is hired by a low class mother, or something, to try and change her daughter, Ruth Barron's (Winslet) behaviour and attitude. This daughter is quite hard to control sometimes, and she does some pretty drastic things. As the treatment continues he starts to feel close connection to her, and also develops a feminine side. I can't remember that much of the entire film, but the most drastic thing I remember Winslet doing was burning the barn (where she slept) and coming out of the dark fully naked. Kate Winslet was number 55, and Harvey Keitel number 53 on The 100 Greatest Movie Stars, Winslet was also number 2 on The 50 Greatest British Actresses. Good!
