Movies
B%che, La

The epitome of leather-jacketed French cool, Gainsbourg demonstrates in 3 extended scenes that she can do it all with style -- pro lightups, voracious drags and inhales, thick exhales (one in the direction of a male companion), expert dangles from the corner of her mouth as she talks or pours herself a shot of liquor. The piece de resistance comes in a shot in which she exhales a couple of creamy, slow streams from her nostrils while dangling. |
I'm Not There

Cate Blanchett smokes like a chimney throughout her gender-bending stint as a Bob Dylan-inspired character in this very strange movie. Her impression of Dylan is hit and miss, but she definitely studied his smoking mannerisms. Michelle Williams, as an Edie Sedgwick-inspired character, is seen briefly on the cover of a magazine dangling what appears to be a small cigar or brown cigarette. At one point, the cover becomes animated and she takes a nice drag and inhales slowly, then freezes back into position with cigarette dangling in her mouth. Definitely the smoking highlight of the movie, a must-see for Michelle Williams fans. Another unknown actress (Jennifer Rae Westley?) plays a girlfriend/groupie to Blanchett's character and has several decent smoking scenes. Overall, an abysmal movie but worth seeing for the smoking. |
Love, etc.

In the only scene worth mentioning, she takes a cigarette from a friend while walking and talking outdoors, has two lusty drags with exhales, then hands it off to another friend as the scene ends.% Based on the sharing, it might be a joint, but she handles it and smokes it like a regular cigarette, so I think the sharing is just to underscore the friendship among the three. In later scenes, she has another drag filmed from some distance, and dangles in a very dimly lit scene on a windy beach. |
The Cement Garden

Two scenes: first is a good one where she lights up a cork-tip and takes a drag or two, then mostly holds. The second is a long shot of her smoking in the sitting room; you have to look carefully to notice it. The first scene is surrounded by two slightly macabre scenes involving a body -- be sure you know what the movie's about before viewing. |
