"High hopes attended this one, since the director earlier gave us the great Irma Vep and the alltime classic Late August, Early September. Unfortunately, however, in this one his style is all arty lighting, quick cutting, and nervous, jerky camera movement. There's PLENTY of smoking, but it could have been much better with a different directing style. The rundown: Nielsen has the most scenes scattered throughout, is shown lighting a few times and occasionally gives us a lusty, thick exhale. Gershon, very sexy, has one office scene with a lot of holding and a couple of quickly glimpsed, well-lit exhales, and later lights up in a dark hotel room. Sevigny's two scenes, both in cars, have lightups and a few drags/exhales but are mostly ruined by being shot through lots of window reflection. The middle-aged Reymond has one decent scene with a stylish lightup and some dangling. Yamazaki is shown to be young and gorgeous in two early nonsmoking scenes, but when she lights up and takes several drags in a later nightclub scene, the fancy lighting effects make both her face and the smoke mostly invisible. Bottom line: well worth seeing, but still frustrating."
"In the DVD release, in the interviews section, Nielsen smokes two cigarettes during her interviews. Unfortunately, she only has one inhale and exhale, but it's a great one. Otherwise it's a lot of holding. Sevigny also smokes in her interview, but only holds"
