bugsybanana to call about seeing Shrek 2 and went into Manhattan and saw Jim Jarmusch’s latest, Coffee and Cigarettes. It’s an odd film, a collection of shorts, all groups of two or three people sitting around talking, drinking coffee and smoking. Pieces of dialog recur among the conversations, but there’s not really anything in the way of story, just amusing conversations. My favorite was the one with Cate Blanchett playing both herself and her cousin. The most awkward and agonizing was the one with Renée French, which at least had Renée French to look at.
