Coffee and Cigarettes

Directed by Jim Jarmusch

“A series of short films disguised as a feature (or maybe vice versa). Each sequence involves several characters just sitting around, drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and discussing subjects as diverse as caffeine popsicles, Elvis conspiracy theories, the proper preparation of English tea, the fictitious rock band Sqürl, Paris in the twenties… The cast is an extremely eclectic group of extraordinary actors and musicians portraying an equally eclectic collection of oddballs, with sequences strikingly photographed in BLACK (coffee) and WHITE (cigarettes) by some of the world’s finest cinematographers.” Director Jim JarmuschSat 13 Nov, 5.00pm: One Hour Intro: Jim Jarmusch.
