A Christmas Appetizer
I saw the movie Smoke, when it was first released in 1995. It remains one of my favorite films centering around my home, Brooklyn.
While sick in bed last week, one of the few bright spots was having to opportunity to watch this again on television. It was a treat, since I probably haven't seen it in 10 years.
Maybe it was the shots of NyQuil or an overdose of tea, but after all these years, I enjoyed it a little bit more.
The end of the movie has a wonderful monologue by Harvey Keitel based on a short story by the movie's author Paul Auster.
Listen to Paul Auster read his story at this link, then take a look at a clip from the movie below.
