"Titanic" actress Kate Winslet surprised the judges from this year Venice Film Festival with her dirty talk in the latest movie "Romance and Cigarettes".

Winslet, who played respectable roles in "Finding Neverland" and "Sense And Sensibility", shocked everybody with her naughty part in John Turturro's movie.

Turturro, known for films like the "Coen brothers' Barton Fink", and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", said: "It (the language) was there because it's humorous and fun. There's dirty language of a certain kind, and there's a real art to that.

"It's really useful in life, because everyone can't be sweet and tender all the time. I compiled a list of things that I thought were interesting expressions for the film."

He added: "If it was just crude, and not funny, I wouldn't have put it in. We had to explain some things to Susan Sarandon because she didn't understand them.

"There were things that had to be cut out that Kate said, that were just too dirty for the film."

"Romance and Cigarettes", a down-and-dirty musical set in the world of working-class New York, tells a story of a husband's journey into infidelity and redemption when he must choose between his seductive mistress and his beleaguered wife.

Oh dear, lost souls. If only this lost soul knew the damaging affects negative words have on water. And remember, WE are made up of 90% water... put the two together and you might figure it out. Using bad language is an abuse of freedom. Communication is a gift, it can be a carrier of great knowledge, wisdom and love. To abuse it is to be ignorant. With any power, comes great responsibility. \S/
