Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes, a film by Jim Narmusch, is a series of vignettes that all have coffee and cigarettes in common. There are a number of famous faces including Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, Steve Buchemi, and Iggy Pop.I have to say, I really enjoyed this film. It is beautifully directed, acted and photographed.
While some sections are more engaging than others, its fascinating how interested a conversation between two people in a coffee shop can be. Such a simple concept really, but quite beauitfully presented.
I love the shots looking down on the tables and coffee cups from above!
Some conversations are awkward, with little to be said between the two people. Some are natural like good friends catching up. Some are quirky (such as the one with coffee adicted Billy Murray). Some are funny. But many seem real.
If you havent yet seen this film, I would recommend you do so. It may seem slow going, or perhaps disjointed as the only thing connecting the sections is the coffee and cigarrettes, but nonetheless, it is, as i said, an interesting observation of people and conversation, and worth seeing (in my opinion at least!)
If you have seen it, then please, share your views here...
