This film has went Venice film festival, New York film festival and Taipei Golden Horse film festival and managed to get a lot of applause. Ms Winslet, famous of her big tits fails no one by showing off her juicy big breast in the movie again.
But the movie was banned in India due to the negative issue of Hindu believes were shown in the movie. Think most of the Indian are pissed off on this.
