Coffee And Cigarettes (2003) 8/10

Starring : Steve Buscemi, Cate Blanchett, Alfred Molina, Steve Coogan, Bill Murray
Director : Jim Jarmusch
Running Time : 92 mins

Celebrities from the worlds of cinema, music and beyond meet up over coffee to discuss various topics, ranging from evil twins, their respective careers and the evil of smoking.

There's some nice moments in this series of short films connected loosely by the subjects of cigarettes and coffee. Iggy Pop and Tom Waits are surprisingly good in their section, where neither one of them is willing to admit that they are having difficulties giving up smoking, whilst Cate Blanchett puts in a nice performance as herself and her own cousin, and Steve Coogan and Alfred Molina play perfectly off each other, with Coogan being a little up himself and Molina being a little sycophantic. Some of the low points include a poorly executed set piece with the White Stripes, but thankfully there are more high points than low.
