Abrazos rotos, Los

Fantastic film, mediocre smoking. Cruz, never more beautiful, lights up in close-up once, but the camera cuts away before the flame even touches the cigarette. When it cuts back to her, she's holding next to her face; she starts to take a drag, but doesn't quite get the cigarette to her lips before she interrupts it to speak, then the scene ends. Arrrgggghh! Later she holds briefly, and much later she again tries to light up on a very windy beach, and fails. Portillo, who's middle aged, holds in several scenes and then is seen exhaling from behind through a cafe window and later from inside the cafe nervously lighting one cig from the end of another. Fuentes takes several drags in the background of one scene, but her exhales are invisible. |

Cruz has two scenes early in the movie. In the first lightup and three drags after sex. In the second, walking in the street, multiple drags (about 10). |
Blow
|
smokingsides
An absolutely fantastic movie for the smoking fetisher...Early in the movie, many beautiful women are smoking joints and cigarettes, including [Potente] who exhibits wonderful mouth/nose exhales. In one scene, she erotically blows marijuana smoke from her mouth into Depp's...Meanwhile, Cruz smokes cigarettes throughout and has at least three great exhale shots, while often snap inhaling. She looks so IRL! ...all in all, a must see! |
Chromophobia
|
smokingsides
Cruz smokes in about 3 scenes, only the last is very good with a joint. Gomez smokes in 2 scenes but there isn't a lot there |
Head in the Clouds
|
smokingsides
Cruz lights up twice early in the film and [Theron] lights up once early. Late in the film [Theron] receives two lights. Film set in Paris mostly from 1920's through WWII non-filters. |
Non ti muovere
|
smokingsides
Just one inhale/exhale in a restaurant. It's shot from a medium distance, Cruz doesn't look her usual self - her hair is not that flattering, her makeup is not that flattering, her inhale and exhale are weak, but... Cruz smoking is always a good thing. |
Sin noticias de Dios
|
smokingsides
Many smoking scenes scattered throughout. At least one lightup off a match, two scenes dangling lit, one unlit, plus many drags and exhales and a lot of holding. Nevertheless, it largely fails to satisfy, for three reasons -- mediocre lighting, few closeups and only one somewhat closeup exhale, and her affecting a 'tough' style that includes holding her cigarettes between thumb and forefinger. She's still gorgeous, though, and smokes a ton here even if the quality's not the best. |
The Good Night
|
smokingsides
:54, light-up and 1 drag, but you can't see any smoke due to white background. :60, Light-up, one very quick drag, little visible smoke. |
Twice Upon a Yesterday
|
smokingsides
Three scenes. The first two, one in a bar and one on the street, are okay but not terribly interesting. In the third, she's in closeup as she lights up pretty sexily in a bedroom, but then her exhale is shot from further away, although it's quite visible. To the practiced eye, there's enough awkwardness in her style to suggest she's not-IRL -- but she definitely inhales. |
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
|
smokingsides
A few scattered scenes featuring Cruz -- a lightup, a few drags, a couple of exhales, nothing special really. Considering the Barcelona setting, a disappointment, and unfortunately no smoking at all from ScarJo. |
Waking Up in Reno
|
smokingsides
Big disappointment. Theron has some brief holding scenes and only saw one drag. Richardson one decent drag and if I remember right one or two brief holding scenes. Cruz maybe 2 drags nothing to write home about. Sad movie for the fetishers. |
