Review BY ROGER EBERT , April 23, 1999

In the 1970s, there were movies about the carefree lives of hippies and flower people, and on the screen you could see their children, long-haired, sunburned and barefoot, solemn witnesses at rock concerts and magical mystery tours. Remember the commune in ``Easy Rider.'' Now it is the 1990s and those children have grown up to make their own movies and tell their side of the story. ``A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries'' (1998) was based on an autobiographical novel by Kaylie Jones, whose novelist father James raised his family in bohemian freedom as exiles in Paris. Now here is ``Hideous Kinky,'' based on an autobiographical novel by Esther Freud, whose father is the British painter Lucien Freud. I'm not sure how much of the story is based on fact, but presumably the feelings are accurately reflected, as when a child tells her hippie mother: ``I don't need another adventure, Mom! I need to go to school. I want a satchel!'' The film stars Kate Winslet, in an about-face after ``Titanic,'' as a 30ish British mom named Julia, who has journeyed to Marrakech in 1972 with her two young daughters, Bea (Bella Riza) and Lucy (Carrie Mullan). She is seeking the truth, she says, or perhaps she is making a grand gesture against her husband, a London poet whom she caught cheating. Well, actually, he's not officially her husband, although he is the father of the children and is sending them packages and checks from time to time, although sometimes they get packages intended for his other family, and the bank doesn't often receive the checks.
