Review of Coffee and Cigarettes (2004) by Ahmedaiman1999 — 07 May 2021
It's true that a compilation of 11 vignettes that centre around somewhat esoteric, yet also trifling, exchanges of conversation between two or three people, with the majority of them being celebrities playing themselves, while vibing and sipping coffee and smoking cigarettes does sound super boring and even pointless.
But with his signature subtly absurd humour and monochrome aesthetic that lend the film a meditative quality and a melancholic warmth, Jarmusch managed to explore some universal human themes, such as envy and addiction, in surprising depth and with unexpected layers of complexity.
