Coffee And Cigarettes
2003, 92 minutes, Rated M
Coffee And Cigarettes is a series of short vignettes that build on one another to create a cumulative effect. Each sequence involves several characters just sitting around, drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and discussing subjects as divers as caffeine popsicles, Abbott & Costello, Elvis conspiracy theories, the proper preparation of English tea, the inventions of Nikola Tesla, the fictitious rock band Squarl, Paris in the twenties, and the use of nicotine as an insecticide. The cast is an extremely eclectic group of extraordinary actors (Roberto Benigini, Steven Wright, Steve Buscemi, Tom Waits, Iggy Pop, Cate Blanchett and Bill Murray) and musicians portraying an equally eclectic collection of oddballs, with sequences strikingly photographed in black (coffee) and white (cigarettes). Jim Jarmusch delves into the normal pace of our world from an extraordinary angle, he shows just how absorbing the obsessions, joys, and addictions of life can be.
