A insightful perspective of many discussions....*spoilers*

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2005)

A Jim Jarmusch film, originally it was a short in '86 or so, basically different exerts of conversations.
If you haven't seen it before, think of it as the typical Tarantino conversations in a film. Like in Pulp Fiction there was the conversation on foot massages, R.Dogs the conversation on what Madonna meant by for the song 'Like a virgin', and in Kill Bill the speech about Superman
Its a beautiful black and white film, shot in different locations, but all with the same running feature. Coffee and Cigarettes...The camera work is normally very static other than when a waiter comes to serve them or when there's an over-view look of the coffee table
A few of my favourite chapters
Segment Strange to Meet You: Roberto Benigni- Roberto Steven Wright- Steven
This one was probably the funniest, basically 2 strangers meet and talk..Then Roberto takes Stevens dentist appointment..
Segment Twins: Joie Lee- Good Twin Cinqué Lee- Bad Twin Steve Buscemi- Waiter
This is about 10mins long, and there's typical brother and sister/twin drama. They accuse each other of taking clothes, then Steve Buscemi comes over to serve them coffee and he discussing whether they're twins and they discuss Elvis
Segment Cousins Cate Blanchet- Shelly Cate Blanchet- Cate (playing her self and both roles)
This one is about Cate playing her self and her cousin. I actually had to double check quite a few times to see if it really was her playing her self, and it was. Excellent stuff right here
Segment Cousins? Alfred Molina- Alfred Steve Coogan- Steve
This one is called cousins again, this stars 2 UK actors, one was Dr. Ock from Spiderman 2 (Molina) and the other was in numerous other things. But this maybe the funniest in the sense of dry humour. Steve is basically a top joint actor, and Alfred is a small time actor. When Alfred wants to meet with Steve, Steve doesn't really pay him enough attention, Alfred even tells him they're they are biological cousins, and Steve takes no notice. Alfred then asked Steve for his number, but gets rejected. Until Alfred goes to take a call, from someone called 'Spike'...When Alfred sits down, Steve is laughing away wondering who it is, then Alfred says its Spike Jonze..In return Steve asks to give his number to Alfred, and he is obviously denied..
Perfect British dry sarcastic humour in this chapter
Segment Those things a kill 'ya Joseph Rigano- Joe Vinny Vella- Vinny Vinny Vella Jr.- Vinny Jr.
2 Italian mobsters just talking on the effects of cigarettes and the fact that tobacco companies make money off killing people everyday. Also stars A mute young actor, who begs his pops for some money, very classy, funny and concise chapter here
Segment Delirium (all playing their selves) Rza Gza Bill Murry
This is the reason why I got the film, Gza and Rza waiting on Ghostface in a restaurant, and they are approached by a waiter with a coffee pot. Rza previously was talking down on the effects of coffee, and said that herbal remedies was much better. Bill sat down with them and and told them he is hiding out (dudes a f****** legend, i don't care!!)..
He told them he was having some throat troubles, he said he had a smokers cough, Rza directed him to gargle some special remedy, Gza told him to gargle some oven cleaner. When Rza and Gza had finished, Bill went to the kitchen and you can hear him gargling, in which Rza and Gza quickly left
Over-all its a brilliant movie/film/someones thoughts on camera. Its completely unusual because I haven't seen anything like that on film before. But its not for all, only some who can appreciate a good script, a lot of dialogue and no real big block busting action.
A must see 7.6/10
