Smoke / Blue In The Face

Film Description

Smoke - Novelist Paul Auster contributed his first original screenplay to this terrific collaboration with director Wang. The intricately-plotted story follows the lives of five characters, each with their own quirk, whose lives intersect in and around Brooklyn in 1990, in ways which leave all of them changed in some way for the better. A lovely, low-key celebration of simple pleasures.Blue In The Face - Wang and co-director Paul Auster had so many ideas and incidents left over after shooting Smoke that this mostly improvised little delight was shot in just one week directly after finishing the other film. A freewheeling gem centred around Keitel's character Auggie Wren from Smoke and his Brooklyn tobacco store, where an endearing collection of laid back eccentrics drop in for a chat and philosophise about nothing in particular.
