How can you make a movie with engrossing characters, with independent
arcs and substantial development... without actually having a story? Try
to tell anyone what Smoke is about, and you'll summarise the first
scene - its about some people who frequent a cigar store. Its not about
achieving something, getting somewhere or winning - its about people.
And its absolutely amazing.
Everything in the film feels the opposite of what a film should be. The
characters are natural, the settings are real and the dialogue flows
very comfortably and as it could in reality. To put it simply, this is
just plain amazing.
