Release
Released as: Blue In The FaceReleased in theatres: Oct. 13th, 1995 (US) Released on DVD: March 4th, 1999 (Europe) / May 25th 2003 (US) Runtime: 80 minutes Genre: Comedy MPAA rating: R Box office: $ 1.3 million (US) SynopsisWayne Wang's follow-up movie to Smoke
presents a series of improvisational situations strung together
to form a pastiche of Brooklyn's diverse ethnicity, offbeat humor,
and essential humanity. Many of the same characters inhabiting
Auggie Wren's Brooklyn Cigar Store in Smoke return here to expound
on their philosophy of smoking, relationships, baseball, New York,
and Belgian Waffles. Most of all, this is a movie about living
life, off-the-cuff. RatingBlue In The Face does not have a proper plot, it's just some
comic situations set in the diverse Brooklyn, in and around of
Auggie's cigar shop. Whereas Smoke
had a real story, Blue in The Face focuses on silly stuff about
the everyday life in Brooklyn, the different ethnics and Belgian
waffles. Madonna's brief cameo as a Western Union telegram girl
towards the end of the movie is a nice addition, she delivers
her message as a hot performance! Awards
