Overview (TMDB): | David Weaver makes his feature debut with this omnibus film in which each tale is told during different points during the 20th century, but in the same hotel room -- room 720. The film opens during the swinging '20s when a beautiful young woman, married against her will to a brutish thug of a man, endures a tension-fraught honeymoon. During the Depression segment, a mail-order bride from China meets her husband for the first time. Following the end of WWII, a soldier returns home to meet his girlfriend and his best friend. During the paranoia of the 1950s, a professor searches for his wife. During the 1980s, a lawyer has too much sex and debt, and during the dawn of the millennium, a woman comes to a newly refurbished room 720 to meet her Internet lover. Such acclaimed Canadian actors as Tom McCamus, Sandrine Holt, and Colm Feore star in this film, which was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival. |

Lindy has one nice scene in which she lights up and smokes with a holder, looking quite glamorous. It's mainly in profile, although she turns towards the camera one time. We see the light-up, two inhales and one exhale which seems quite proficient. On a slightly different note, Mia Kirshner smokes once, in bed with a lover. It's a very dark scene, but there's one nice fairly close shot of her inhaling and exhaling. She seems to be inhaling a bit more deeply than in some of her earlier films, taking longer drags and showing more visible smoke on her exhales, but she still seems like one of those actresses who may not smoke IRL but who have learned to smoke well enough to do a passable job in the movies. |
