Jim


Iggy Pop and Tom Waits

'Coffee and Sigarettes' by Jim Jarmush is a 2003 independent film. It consists of eleven short stories which share coffee and cigarettes as a common thread. Many of my heroes here. I got a bit confused when I hit upon these tubes – the clips give you a semi-intimate view and they also are all in B&W.

In this episode Iggy Pop and Tom Waits pretend to play themselves, they smoke cigarettes to celebrate that they quit smoking, drink some coffee and have an awkward conversation;

Steven Wright and (always nervous) Roberto Benigni in this sketch called 'Strange to Meet You';

Meg and Jack White (The White Stripes = UK Bro-Sis Indie Band);

Cate Blanchett playing both herself and her cousin. Kinda strange, don't yah think?

Maybe I will collect all eleven episodes.
