Smoke is a 1995 American independent drama film written and directed by Paul Auster and starring Harvey Keitel, William Hurt, Giancarlo Esposito, and Stockard Channing.
The film follows the lives of several characters in Brooklyn, New York, and how their lives intersect with one another. Auggie Wren (Harvey Keitel) is the proprietor of a small tobacco shop in Brooklyn. He is a loner who has a special bond with the customers who frequent his shop. One day, a young writer named Paul Benjamin (William Hurt) enters the shop and Auggie takes an immediate liking to him.
