“Coffee and Cigarettes,” 20 November 2004 (2003), DVD. The latest from Jim Jarmusch, this is sort of Jarmusch does Beckett over lots of coffee and lots of cigarettes. Funny in parts, meandering in others, this is a plotless exercise in meaning, lack of meaning, conversation, social climbing (in a lovely piece staring Alfred Molina and James Coogan). Some wonderful acting (a dialogue between Kate Blanchett and herself is very cool), Steve Buscemi as a waiter, and a totally flipped piece featuring a couple of Wu Tang Clan members and Bill Murray is a must see. Finally, musings by Taylor Reid (including a fun interview with him) make it a good if uneven watch
