If you loved While the Women Are Sleeping, try Smoke
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Wayne Wang, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to While the Women Are Sleeping, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Smoke is
A movie about men learning to father themselves, one cigarette at a time. Paul, mourning his wife and nearly flattened by fate outside a Brooklyn smoke shop, lets a stranger with daddy issues crash on his couch. The smoke clears and it turns out everyone’s just improvising parenthood as they go.
