Coffee and Cigarettes / USA / 2003

This series of vignettes involving rock stars old and new is inherently disparate (although there is a forced attempt to connect its beginning and end). But in the hands of Jim Jarmusch the mess has more than its share of gems: Iggy Pop and Tom Waits eyeing for each other’s names on a juke box, Cate Blanchet interacting with herself, RZA and GZA giving Bill Murray advice to on how to alleviate a sore throat, and – my favorite – Alfred Molina explaining the lineage he shares with a pompous Steve Coogan. There’s little substance here, but the film is never dull either, and it’s enough to make you really crave a cup of coffee. Wu-Tang is forever.
