Two scenes for Cate. Around a half hour in, there's a nice closeup of a lightup. Shortly after, you see the end of a nose exhale. Halfway through the movie, she has another lightup, but you can't really see the exhale. Also in the first scene, [McCrory] takes 2 drags from Cate's cig, with one nose exhale. |
Coffee and Cigarettes

Lee has a few inhales with thin visible exhales. Blanchett plays two characters, herself and her cousin, who is dressed down. Playing herself, she has a lightup just offscreen and a later drag. Because of the background, exhales can't been seen. Better smoking from the cousin character, smoking throughout the scene. A lightup and 8 or so drags. Several snap inhales, exhales arent that great, but there is a nice nose exhale. White has a half dozen inhales and a lightup. Don't see any exhales, but there is a nice french inhale. The gorgeous French does a very nice job. Shot mostly closeup, a lightup with maybe 8 inhales. Exhales are thick and visible, usually exhaling some through the nose and the rest from the mouth. |
I'm Not There
|
smokingsides
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. |

Oscar and Lucinda

takes a nice drag on a smallish cigar, then the camera angle changes to a long shot from 3/4 behind, but you can still make out a monstrous mouth-nose exhale. |

[Blanchett] single light-up and exhale. Appears IRL |
The Good German

smokingsides
In one scene from this black-and-white 1940's era film, [Blanchett] executes one of the GREATEST exhale/inhale moves ever recorded on film. In one scene, she drags on her cigarette, then lets the smoke flow slowly out her mouth, so that the shadow of the smoke even shows up on her face. Then she inhales the smoke straight from the open air back into her lungs. It's amazing that she instinctively knows to smoke like that for the role she's playing, and yet she remains in character so well. It's like she doesn't try to smoke well for the camera, it just occurs naturally. It's this type of subtle nuance about a woman smoking that should be the standard by which all other smoking scenes are measured! |
The Man Who Cried
|
smokingsides
Considering her character is a 1930s showgirl named Lola who spends a lot of time in nightclubs and at elegant parties, one might have expected more. But let's not get greedy -- after all, her lips are so full and glossy red you can practically see your reflection in them, and there are three smoking scenes: a sunlit lightup and the start of a drag at the beginning, one wonderfully thick, classic exhale near the end, and a scene in between in which she takes a drag from a brown cigarette. |
The Talented Mr. Ripley
|
smokingsides
Blanchett has one very well-lit exhale in profile, fairly close up, outdoors in daylight. Paltrow's character doesn't even hint she's a smoker until about 2 hours in, when out of the blue she sits down in an outdoor cafe, extracts a cigarette from a slim gold case, and dangles it briefly before lighting elegantly. Two inhales and exhales follow. |
Veronica Guerin

One scene smoking and one holding unlit. Almost an hour in, 3 inhale/exhales, including one pretty good windblown exhale. |
