Movie Review: Coffee & Cigarettes

Noted director Jim Jarmusch's latest film has no plot and no main characters, but plenty of coffee and cigarettes. The movie begins with two people having a discussion over coffee and cigarettes, which is followed by a different scene all together which also involves people enjoying their coffee and cigarettes. This is the premise of the film. It goes on like that for awhile... like, the whole movie. There are some interesting conversations that take place, but I didn't completely dig the film altogether. However, I highly recommend watching the scene at the end staring Rza, Gza and, of course, Bill Murray. Oh, and don't forget to watch the scene with Iggy Pop and Tom Waits.

I loved this film. It's more of a study in personal interactions in tight knit quarters than a narrative drama. My favorite piece is the one with the 2 old men at the end. There is so much subtext, and wonderful performances by both actors...
