Jim Jarmusch directed this compilation film with eleven short stories sharing coffee and cigarettes as a common link. The first three segments were independently made in 1986, 1989, and 1993. Notable highlights include Jack White's self-made Tesla coil and passionate discussion about the achievements of Nikola Tesla, Iggy Pop and Tom Waits celebrating quitting smoking naturally by lighting up and having awkward conversations, and Wu-Tang Clan members (and cousins) GZA and RZA drinking herbal tea while talking with their waiter (Bill Murray) about the dangers of caffeine and nicotine.
Not bad. Recommended for those who love their movies with a lot of conversations. If you do, this is your kind of film. Don't forget to bring the coffee and cigarettes.
