If you're not being misled by the media into thinking that performance art is a derogatory concept, there's no doubt that Augie in the film Smoke (1995) is a serious performance artist who takes a picture of the street across from his shop at the same time every morning, every day for more than a decade.

Although the film Smoke (1995) tells about ordinary life, but for the richness of daily life, the traditional linear narrative mode will be dangerous and easy to make your audience feel boring. The director is very clever who used segmented narrative form. The organic film is divided into five parts, each part revolves around a character, through his relationship with surrounding the personnel, the plot goes well in an orderly way with warmth and carefulness.

These ordinary life events actually contain a lot of dramatic psychological activities. How to discover them, rather than grandstanding, with exaggerated performance to deliberately enhance human nature? It requires a great deal of technical control.

The characters' language is very much in keeping with their personalities.
