"Blue in the Face" is a 1995 comedy directed by Wayne Wang and Paul Auster. It stars Harvey Keitel, Madonna, Giancarlo Esposito, Roseanne Barr, Michael J. Fox, Jared Harris, Lily Tomlin, Mira Sorvino, Lou Reed, Mel Gorham, and Jim Jarmusch.

"Blue in the Face" was filmed over a five-day period as a follow-up to Wang's 1995 movie, "Smoke". During production of "Smoke", Keitel and the others ad-libbed scenes in-character between takes and a sequel was made using this improvised material.

Lily Tomlin was nominated for an American Comedy Award as "Funniest Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture" for her performance in this picture.
