"There's a decent smoking scene just before the hour, and another scene soon afterwards. Another actress (almost certainly Sandrine Bonnaire) holds briefly after about 80 minutes. Valeria smokes again on 90 minutes, standing by a corpse. The scene immediately afterwards has her pulling out a cigarette immediately and is a bit more interesting. I'm not sure how IRL Valeria's style is, as she doesn't take very deep drags. However, she is quite charming and a bit unique.
