Blue in the Face (Blu-ray)
Brand New HD Master by Paramount Pictures - From a 4K Film Restoration by ZAP Zoetrope Aubry Productions - San Francisco! In the uproarious follow-up to the hit comedy Smoke, Harvey Keitel returns with a red-hot cast and nonstop laughs when a wacky group of locals visits the neighborhood cigar shop, looking for good times…and finding plenty of hilarious fun! But when the greedy owner threatens to close the shop for good—and turn it into a trendy vegetarian restaurant—the neighborhood proves they’ll do just about anything to save their favorite hangout! Don’t miss this highly original and entertaining New York comedy from the filmmaking team of Wayne Wang (The Joy Luck Club) and Paul Auster (The Inner Life of Martin Frost), with a killer ensemble cast including Giancarlo Esposito, Roseanne Barr, Michael J.
