COFFEE AND CIGARETTES (DIR: JIM JARSMUCH)
The film shows a collection of simple conversations developed while having coffee and cigarettes.Many a times it was mentioned how bad the consumption of coffee and cigarettes are.In one story coffee was replaced by tea entirely.The last conversation was probably most depressing.Even coffee and cigarettes failed to keep the two conversant s awake.They slowly fall asleep.Coffee and cigarettes many a times helped to keep the conversation between brothers,cousins,friends or strangers alive or provided a topic.A film is different from story books.In story books their are stories or plots.Films also have them.But film in the end is a different medium.Here the challenge is probably how you show something and showing somethings which has literally no link between them and to make a film out of very simple common things is a tough tusk.This film did that,showed some independent simple conversations over coffee and cigarettes.
