Moreover, these benefits increase the more coffee you drink. Jane's sister Anna Campion, herself a director, co-authored the screenplay Pam Grier appears in a supporting role as P.J.'s partner and girlfriend.Date: ApSource: University of Southern California - Health Sciences Summary: Researchers have found that coffee consumption, including decaf, instant and espresso, decreases the risk of colorectal cancer. Ruth soon turns the tables on P.J., as she discovers that sex allows her to make mincemeat of his long-held beliefs as a macho, misogynist male. finds himself sexually attracted to Ruth, and in time she allows him to seduce her. Waters begins to loosen Ruth's belief in Baba's teachings, but P.J. Waters (Harvey Keitel), an American exit counselor who deprograms members of religious cults. Mother pretends to arrange a meeting with Ruth's father, who has been ill, and this trick lands Ruth in the clutches of P.J. Mother visits her daughter in India in hopes of convincing her to come home, but it's not until she suffers a life-threatening asthma attack that Ruth agrees to return for a visit. Back home in Sydney, Ruth's mother and father (Julie Hamilton and Tim Robertson) are appalled to learn that their daughter now answers to the name Nazni and has no intention of returning. On a trip to India, Australian Ruth (Kate Winslet) has a spiritual awakening and embraces the teachings of a guru named Baba. It's said that sex and religion are two subjects that no one can discuss without arguing writer/director Jane Campion tackles both head-on in this satiric comedy drama. Only a slight letdown at the end detracts from the overall impact. The scenery is beautifully desolate and the cinematography is striking. The control of the plot by Jane Campion feels sure-handed and exhibits a director firmly confident in her craft. Surprisingly light moments of wry humor keep this from becoming too unrelentingly dark but without causing it to descend into parody. Excellent performance by the leads, and convincing character development by the supporting cast propel this compelling tale. This is a game (or is it) of cat and mouse and the power shifts back and forth quite precipitously and nearly devastatingly. What takes place in this desolate location is outside the bounds of any reputable therapy. Tricked into returning to her native Australia, she is ambushed by her family and whisked away to a secluded hut for deprogramming by a highly successful American deprogrammer, PJ Waters (Harvey Keitel). Holy Smoke is right! Kate Winslet definitely sets the screen on fire, literally and figuratively, in this one as Ruth Barron, a young, idealistic woman, whose parents (Julie Hamilton, Tim Robertson) become concerned when she joins a commune of like-minded seekers in India, under the sway of a charismatic guru.
