John Duigan directed this sexy drama about Australian artist Norman Lindsay(played by Sam Neil) who has caused a scandal with his graphic(some say blasphemous) paintings. The church bishop sends idealistic young English Minster Anthony Champion(played by Hugh Grant) to try to persuade Lindsay to stop his painting, but he refuses, instead lecturing him and his wife Estella(played by Tara Fitzgerald) on their "prudish" ways, which the minster denies, but fails to notice how his own wife is intrigued by three very open women models also staying with Lindsay... Surprisingly good-natured film presents both sides evenly and intelligently, with no stereotyping. Quite provocative at times, but does at least offer everyone a happy ending.
