Do not waste your time...17 years are already wasted.

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2004)

When I first watched "Coffee And Cigarettes", I was hoping to watch pleasing short stories with some humour and a good cam use with B&W. Neither of that happened. It's a total waste in my humble opinion. It is a waste of time, precious actors and actresses and 17 years of the director too. Now that you may like "art films" but this one's not even that. While we watch it we thought even we could make a better one in the family. Don't get me wrong, but only a bright idea or a fine cast cannot guarantee a movie to be an unforgettable one. I'll go for other movies of the director, perhaps he's got a better one with his reputation. 5 over 10 won't be unfair.
At least a link between all stories other than coffee and cigarettes would be great. Even all the coffees consumed in the movie do not seem delicious though there's some glamour in the cigarettes :)) I would also like to hear the director's own comments to get a better idea.
