Saw it last week. It works more in terms of observing Jarmusch's progress as opposed to it necessarily being a real movie. You can clearly see his writing and directing growing (as well as his budgets). The episode I was most impressed by was probably Kate Blanchett's. She gave brilliant dual performances.

The Blanchette shorts is one of my least favorite.

It's good, it's just the most obvious and cliched, it doesn't really feel like a Jarmusch story.

I'm gonna go to the San Francisco International Film Fest in April.  Coffee and Cigarettes is playing there but I'm so sure that it'll be packed... actually, I think it might be opening the festival... in which case there's no way I'd be able to get a ticket.

But if somehow it works out and I get the chance to, then I'm definitely interested in seeing it.  The trailer looks funny.

Kotte is the ultimate ladies man. Full of love and well hung. The complete opposite of most people on xixax. I also applaud you for typing at your computer naked.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

This movie is just all around understated greatness.

My favorite: the last one, with Bill Rice and Taylor Mead. It's the most meditative of the bunch, and it's just lovely.

My next favorite: Tom Waits and Iggy Pop. That's about all that needs to be said about that.

My other favorites: Steve Coogan and Alfred Molina was the slickest and most generally pleasing, and the one with Cate Blanchett is stunning not because of the content but just for her performance(s); it's hard to believe they're both her.

I appreciated the shout out to Joe Strummer at the end of the credits. Jarmusch's taste in music is impeccable. As is his filmmaking.

On 9/14, look for Coffee & Cigarettes on DVD.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

saw this tonite, not because i really thought it was theatre-worthy, but because i'm moving out of this crummy town tomorrow and i wanted to go to the great arthouse one last time.  i thought the coogan/molina one was the best, then the cate blanchett, then iggy pop/tom waits.  overall though as a film it wasnt very good, certainly not worth anyones 9 dollars.  it's the sort of thing had he put them up separately on like, jimjarmusch.com or something i would've probably watched them and smirked.  maybe showed my girlfriend, maybe not, clicked off and never really thought about them again.  

as a whole it really doesnt work as a film, as some of the shorts were good and some were downright boring.  if the shorts had been conceived as a whole film from the start, perhaps he could've made more of a point to the whole thing, but as it stands he sort of tried to weave a few of them together at the end and it didnt really do much. so, other than sort of going 'hey, its bill murray!', and getting the same sort of cheap thrills seeing what celebrities will pop up as flipping through US weekly and seeing laura flynn boyle walking her dog, the movie is NOT RECOMMENDED.

I think it's worth nine dollars, or even eighteen, since I'm probably going to go see it again later this week.

i rather enjoyed this film as a whole. i really liked the cate blanchett one, and the alfred molina and steve coogan one was hilarious. 4/5
