Coffee and Cigarettes
Dir: Jim Jarmusch
2003
****
A collection of short conversation between various different characters, generally in cafes and always while, as you might have guessed, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. Some sketches are seriously cool, others are genuinely very funny. I thought Cate Blanchett's short was very clever in particular. Unfortunately though a couple of them are real duds for no other reason then the actors didn't work well together or that it was too long. Filmed over several years, this film is testament to Jarmusch's contribution to film; quirky comedy and the epitome of cool.
