Les destins d'un écrivain désespéré, d'un adolescent noir fabulateur et de l'ex-femme d'Auggie, photographe amateur et patron du café de Brooklyn où ils se croisent, vont se mêler, s'entremêler et basculer. (texte officiel du distributeur)

Un film indépendant et relaxant reposant sur des dialogues, avec des intérieurs artificiellement lumineux et quelques histoires de vie agréables (mais aussi étranges). J'ai été très satisfait de la dimension philosophique du projet photographique de Keitel et du sort de William Hurt. Cependant, l’interaction entre le jeune homme noir et son père Whitaker m’a paru étrange. Et le caractère névrotique de Whitaker est presque rebutant.

A cute mosaic connecting up stories, either already told or those that take place right in front of us. Each is cloaked in smoke, but still they are heartwarming and you get to like them. It’s a joy to watch the great acting performances and clever outcomes in a movie that makes you think and reflects the period as exactly as Auggie’s camera captures time. The last, Christmas story warms the cockles of your heart. I must go visit grandma at the weekend. If you can't share your secrets with your friends then what kind of friend are you?

I love conversational films, especially when they are well-made and have something to say. That is exactly the case with the film Smoke. It features wonderfully written and, above all, superbly acted characters, who don't stand out because they lead particularly interesting lives, but simply because they know how to portray their own lives well. Harvey Keitel is incredible when he tells the final story. The depiction of this memory within the closing credits is almost unnecessary because his narration is perfect.
