Blue in the Face (1995)

.
"I don't know anyone in New York who doesn't say 'I'm leaving'. I've been thinking of leaving New York for... uh... thirty-five years now."

The bunch who made the film Smoke had so much fun together that they promptly went into improv mode and filmed it. Basically this is a series of incidents that mostly revolve around Auggie Wren (Harvey Keitel) who runs a little Brooklyn smoke shop.

Others in the cast include Mira Sorvino, Lou Reed, Michael J. Fox, Jim Jarmusch, Lily Tomlin, Jared Harris, Giancarlo Esposito, Madonna, Roseanne, José Zúñiga, RuPaul.

Based on situations created by and directed by Paul Auster and Wayne Wang.

Run time: 1 hour, 22 minutes

Rated R.

My personal rating: C+
