CFF2004: Coffee and Cigarettes [Jim Jarmusch, 2003]   Message List

Cambridge Film Festival 2004

Typical Jarmusch that he has the audacity to make a film consisting of
coffee table conversations. It's a very strange brew, but quite
wonderful.

I suppose the series of grainy black and white vignettes are helped by
having some famous faces share the cigarettes. There are lots of nice
cameos: for instance Tom Waits (who is, of course, God come down to
earth as a hobo), or Steve Buscemi (Mr "never fails to steel the
scene"), or Bill Murray (at his understated best). The real star,
however, is Jarmusch's style: the way he lets a scene set its own
pace, and the way he just looks at life askance.

Favourite scene? I think it has to be Molina and Coogan. Cousins?
