Greta Scacchi

“It is very annoying for an actor to be pigeon-holed. It cramps your style and the difficulty is how to defeat the machine that's so well-oiled and so much more powerful than you. I got pigeon-holed for taking my clothes off when it was a token thing that producers wanted in any film in the Eighties. I don't think I was doing it more than others... maybe I was just more memorable.”

    JAMES IVORY United Kingdom, 1983

    Another winning collaboration with writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, this Merchant-Ivory gem marvels at the beauty of India while remaining critical of the Western gaze. Time-traveling between two intercultural romances starring Shashi Kapoor and Julie Christie, Heat and Dust simmers with feminine rage.
