"Kidman says she smokes hand-rolled cigarettes in this movie. Interview
Magazine, Feb. '02"
"This is Kidman's most IRL-looking performance, as the lighting is
excellent, she's obviously inhaling deep as the exhales are lengthy and
occur long after her inhales. She smokes hand-rolled througout and has one
nose inhale, and a talk-exhale that's a little difficult to see. She also
has one light-up"
