| Poulpe, Le (1998) | Clotilde Courau, Céline Cailleau "Smoking by two attractive twenty-something French actresses, both quite accomplished. Coureau, the female lead, smokes in at least two scenes, including a nice close-up in a bathtub. She seems to inhale deeply, but thanks to the lighting, the backgrounds and/or the editing, we never really see any of her exhales. However, Cailleaua, a minor character, has a great scene early in the film when, naked, she appears in a wide shot and starts to light-up. Then the film cuts to a nice close-up of her lovely drag and exhale. Julie Delarme, enchanting young smoking star of 'C'est La Tangente Que Je Prefere,' does not smoke in this film but does have a nice semi-nude scene as a consolation prize."
