Holy Smoke! is a 1999 Australian drama film directed by Jane Campion, who co-wrote the screenplay with her sister Anna. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was shown at the New York Film Festival and the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival before being released theatrically. The film was widely criticized for portraying India and Indian Religions in a negative sense. It was even panned for being partial with the Indian culture.
