Un film de malaises! Trop superbe! Les scenes varient par contre en qualite... Quelques tres belles perfomances: Kate Blanchet et le super Bill Murray! Look plutot ordinaire. Sensation d'inconfort couramment exploite... Que de malaises! Tres belle idee.

MCT:June 12, 2008Some of the episodes are funny as hell, some just dead boring. Steven Wright is the reason why I watched it.

Great movie with great stories! Each plot seems simple with a nostalgic and relaxation mood, though everithing is like wrapped up by such an artistic smell of cigarette smoke and coffee!! Wow!!! And of course my favourite one is my lovely Roberto Benigni!

MCT:May 16, 2008A series of black and white vignettes about people chatting over coffee and cigarettes. For the most part, it works.

A quirky indie movie constructed from numerous short scenes of time spent by friends and relatives over coffee and cigarettes.
A brilliant scene featuring two Kate Blanchetts, another with Bill Murray, and yet another with Iggy Pop and Tom Waits.
A must-see for surrealism and film-noir fans. -

On my on going quest to watch Jim Jarmusch's films, last night I saw "Coffee and Cigarettes". Let me first say it's a film that purely supports the title. The entire film is based on people sitting at a cafe, usually two enjoying or at least trying to enjoy a cup of coffe and obviously, cigarettes. Jarmusch managed to capture the simplicity of everyday conversation and revolve it around coffee and cigarettes. The cast includes a mix of talents like Bill Murray, Roberto Benigni, Jack White, Cate Blanchett just to name a few. I love how the film is in black and white, besides the contrast, it symbolizes and enhances the ying and yang, right and wrong in the conversations that take place. This is quite different from his past films I've seen like "Dead Man" or "Down by Law" which are films that take us to different places. In "Coffee and Cigarettes" the actors take us to different places and sometimes share their with us their awkward moments. Aesthetically this film reminds me of his other film "Stranger than Paradise" where all the scenes in the film where done in one shot. "Coffee and Cigarettes" is brilliant, a very cool film and very funny if you listen carefully. Jarmusch is underated and should be more recognized for his cinematic brilliance.
FAVORITE LINE: "Your a MANIAC, A CAFFEINE MANIAC ! " -
MCT:April 6, 2008The photography is very impressive, and the film features some decent performances (nothing extraordinary, except from Cate Blanchett's dual role), as well as some pretty bad ones... The plot is empty and most of the time the dialog is badly improvised (or at least it feels that way)... Only 5 of the 11 shorts are good: Twins, Somewhere in California, Those Things'll Kill Ya, Cousins, and Champagne.

A simplistic, lovably odd piece of experimentation that works in more ways than it doesn't. Funny, quirky and intelligent. Bill Murray's sketch had me in stitches.

a movie every film lover would love. great cast, cool to see people you usually think of as strictly musicians acting. Steve Coogan is amazing.

Nicotine and caffeine are perfect together.
A series of vignettes that all have coffee and cigarettes in common.
Are all different stories but some of them are a little bit boring. -

Ah, Jim Jarmusch.
Indie indie indie.
My first Jarmusch film was Stranger Than Paradise which was...peculiar to say the least. When you're dealing with pauses in action that last minutes upon minutes upon minutes and entail little more than watching a character watch tv, or sit there bored. I mean, it kind of rubs off. Which was clearly the point, but at the same time, it's slightly off-putting and a little confusing. I had one of my lovely Boone experiences there, with people yelling at the screen to do something at the time, and I distinctly recall telling them to "SHUT THE FUCK UP OR GET OUT."
Maybe with a conditional like 'if you don't like the movie,' but that's really pretty superfluous, innit?
Anyway.
Coffee and Cigarettes. I actually had a portion of the film downloaded ages ago (the file is infact dated 12/28/2003 at 7:25am. It begins, as does the real film (which yes, I did just watch) with Roberto Benigni and steven Wright having a very awkward conversation over coffee and cigarettes--the centerpiece of the entire film. It also includes the bit with Joie and Cinqué Lee being served coffee by the hillbilly Steve Buscemi, and my absolute favourite bit (unsurprisingly)-- Tom Waits and Iggy Pop, both bloody brilliant in their part.
Anyway, I'd forgotten most of what I'd seen before, and so this was a pretty fresh experience. It was more entertaining than I expected from previous Jarmusch experience, and from the nasty comments that have been made about this particular film (such as absolute silence during its sundance (?) showing followed by "That was shit, Jim," after it ended),
Cate Blanchett was astonishing for reasons I will not reveal, but I felt less stupid after discovering Taylor Mead was as ignorant as I was in a bonus interview on the disc. Waits and Iggy were, as I say, my favourites and turned in probably my favourite segment (though Cate's and Alfred Molina and Steve Coogan also did great memorable ones).
There is, duh, no plot. It is a series of vignettes, really, strange little conversations between random people about random topics, with some similar comments and ideas shared between them on occasion. All had over tea/coffee and cigarettes.
Some comments were interesting for seeming new, yet truthful, others for humorous value, and others simply for reaffirmation of existing feelings--and occasionally even for trivia. Almost all of the performances were stunning and thoroughly believable--though there was some improvisation. (2/3/06) -

loads of stars turn up for indie director jim jarmush, in a load of vignettes, short scenes starring many stars, a scene thats set around people drinking coffee and smoking cigerettes, hence the title. cate blanchet, bill murrey, tom waits, robert benigni, steve bushimi, iggy pop, and even the white stripes, amung many others, starring in there 5 to 10 minute scene, life troubles, relationships, modern living, health, amoung many topics, great use of black and white, and oviously shot on a very tight budget, but you see the stars just relaxing and letting loose and doing there bit, not all storys are great to watch, and there are highlights, but thats what is great, there soon over with, flys by too, which is great

definitely a film that entertains the existential, borderline surreal motifs. awkward comedy, realistic personal drama, and a plethora of overheard shots of coffee mugs, cigarette packs and checkerboard cafe tables. a clever and refreshing movie-watching experience, even if it is a bit "out there"

This film made me laugh, I liked the dialogue and most of it seemed improvised. Someday I'm going to do a Jim Jarmusch marathon because I don't remember much about his films yet I think they deserve deeper study.
