Has it really been ten years since "Smoke"? I love that film. I file it under "movie I like that no one I personally know has seen or heard of". I Even appreciate the improvised "sequel" ( Lou Reed being the best part of it). The curious thing about it is the fact that the director of this sublime film went on to make "Maid in Manhattan" and "Because of Winn-Dixie". The good news is he will be directing a movie with Ziyi Zhang.
My true place in the world, it turned out was somewhere beyond myself, and if that place was inside me, it was also unlocatable. This was the tiny hole between self and not-self, and for the first time in my life I saw this nowhere as the exact center of the world.
