Synopsis:

Smoke is an American independent film released in 1995. It was produced by Hisami Kuroiwa, Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein and directed by Wayne Wang and Paul Auster (who also wrote the screenplay). Among others, it features Harvey Keitel, William Hurt, Victor Argo, Forest Whitaker, Ashley Judd, Stockard Channing and Harold Perrineau Jr.. The film follows the lives of multiple characters, all of whom are connected by their patronage of a small Brooklyn tobacco shop managed by Auggie (Harvey Keitel). Brooklyn Cigar Co. was located on the corner of 16th Street and Prospect Park West.

This movie is a slice out of the lives of some present and former Brooklyn denizens all brought together by a smoke shop run by local 'entrepeneur' Auggie Wren. Two days, one summer and 18 years are all examined in detail by the characters populating the film.

A Brooklyn smoke shop is the center of neighborhood activity, and the stories of its customers.
