| Good German, The (2006) | Cate Blanchett, Robin Weigert "In one scene from this black-and-white 1940's era film, [Blanchett] executes one of the GREATEST exhale/inhale moves ever recorded on film. In one scene, she drags on her cigarette, then lets the smoke flow slowly out her mouth, so that the shadow of the smoke even shows up on her face. Then she inhales the smoke straight from the open air back into her lungs. It's amazing that she instinctively knows to smoke like that for the role she's playing, and yet she remains in character so well. It's like she doesn't try to smoke well for the camera, it just occurs naturally. It's this type of subtle nuance about a woman smoking that should be the standard by which all other smoking scenes are measured!"
