As slice of life as its title suggests

Rating: 6/10 (13 May 2019)

Featuring 11 vignettes which are all connected simply by the presence of coffee and cigarettes, Jim Jarmusch's film shows people at their most ordinary. There isn't really a plot nor themes to connect any of the conversations, but each of the segments are short and allows its viewer to peer into the minds of different individuals. With moviegoers so conditioned to look for meaning and cohesive storylines, Jarmusch simply paints us a picture of everyday life and does so with a keen sense of space and composition.
