A 1995 movie directed by Wayne Wang and written by New York novelist Paul Auster.

The film rotates around a smoke shop in downtown Brooklyn, run by Auggie (Harvey Keitel), and focuses on the lives of the people who come in to use it.

There is no plot to speak of; the film consists of a series of subplots, which swirl around the central location.

Smoke was based on a short story Paul Auster wrote one Christmas for the New York Times. While little-known, those that have seen it regard it as one of the best films ever.

It has an improvisational sequel, Blue in the face, which sadly is nowhere near as good, although features bigger-name talents such as Michael J. Fox and Madonna.
