The science fiction romance Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), in which Winslet was cast against type in a contemporary setting, proved to be a turning point in her career, and she gained further recognition for her performances in Finding Neverland (2004), Little Children (2006), Revolutionary Road (2008), and The Reader (2008). For playing a former Nazi camp guard in the latter, she won the BAFTA Award and the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Movies
All the King's Men

Joanne accepts a light and her tongue comes forward to lightly brush against her lips. A shot from behind shows Mercedes drooping before being lit. She holds in a second short scene and a cigarette hangs briefly from her mouth in a third as smoke swirls above her head. |

Kate Winslet holds once without lighting up and drags with exhale twice in flashback, the same scene shown twice the latter more close up. Patricia Clarkson lights up off camera and has a few holding and dragging/exhale scenes. Kathy Baker has many holding as well as several dragging/exhaling scenes as well. |
Holy Smoke
smokingsides
Smokes in about six scenes, smoking hand-rolled cigarettes in all scenes. In first scene, we see a pretty vigorous inhale, though it's shot from a fair distance. In second scene, a really nice exhale, with smoke streaming out her mouth and nose. In a later scene, Kate blesses a cigarette, then lights it with a lighter, though we see no exhales. None of the remaining scenes are that memorable. |
Revolutionary Road

Winslet fans will not be disappointed. She has several scenes throughout and they are mostly well-filmed, with some nice light-ups, inhales and exhales, including some nose exhales. Kazan has one brief scene with a light-up and exhale. There is also a lot of background smoking in this film, which takes place in the early 50s, when smoking was so commonplace. |
Romance & Cigarettes
smokingsides
The title notwithstanding, the smoking is disappointing here. Winslet does have a couple of snap inhales, maybe 2 visible exhales, and one long drag (albeit shot from a long distance), but you expected a lot more. Parker dangles an unlit cigarette once and never lights it. Another unidentified actress, who is in Parker's band, also smokes once. |
