Cousins? > Somewhere in California > Cousins > Delirium > Champagne > Strange to Meet You > No Problem > Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil > Twins > Those Things'll Kill Ya > Renee
Eleven vignettes ranging from amusingly depressing to deadpan absurdism all centering on a few people getting Coffee... and... Cigarettes. It's that classic Jarmuschian existentialist cool that keeps this whole operation afloat — mostly. There's some sketches here that will never leave my mind (Alfred Molina/Steve Coogan, Tom Waits/Iggy Pop, Cate Blanchett/Cate Blanchett, and of course Bill Murray/GZA/RZA) but there's even more that have already left my mind not five minutes after they wrapped up (basically the rest — yes even the Steven Wright/Roberto Benigni one). Worth watching to see Jarmusch return to his '80s indie roots, and to witness the despondent drollery of the four I mentioned above and 'Champagne' — undoubtedly the bleakest of the bunch, and one hell of a vignette to cap off the film.
