Coffee and Cigarettes

A Film by Jim Jarmusch (US 2003)



Coffee and Cigarettes is an 2003 independent film that consists of eleven short stories which share coffee and cigarettes as a common thread.

A comic series of short vignettes built on one another to create a cumulative effect, as the
characters discuss things as diverse as caffeine popsicles, Paris in the '20s, and the use of nicotine as an insecticide--all the while sitting around sipping coffee and smoking cigarettes. As director Jim Jarmusch delves into the normal pace of our world from an extraordinary angle, he shows just how absorbing the obsessions, joys and addictions of life can be, if truly observed.
