the characters discuss things as diverse as caffeine popsicles, Paris in the '20s, and the use of nicotine as an insecticide-all the while sitting around sipping coffee and smoking cigarettes.As director Jim Jarmusch delves into the normal pace of our world from an extraordinary angle, he shows just how absorbing the obsessions, joys and addictions of life can be, if truly observed.

Full review
Yes as you can read from the title this was a very boring movie, so you can imagine what is going to come next.
The movie is based upon short stories, I am sorry I cannot recall exactly how many short stories there were, at a guess I would say about 10.
The Charachters in this movie are Roberto Benigini, Steven Wright and others. The movie is based upon a conversation around cigarettes and Coffee. So you know where the tilte has been arrived from.
This movie is supposed to be a comedy I must admit it has its moments is some parts, but overall not a very good job.
This was a waited film and it had sold out in many part of the states, not the mention the dissapointment of the watchers.
The movie is supposed to convey events based upon real life, and yes at times you can relate to this, example trying to give up smoking etc..
If you were bored and wanted to pass time then it is worth watching, otherwise I personally would not recommend this.
Jim Jarmusch has consistently wowed audiences with his truly distinctive cinematic vision. Shot over the course of a 17-year-period, COFFEE AND CIGARETTES proves once again that Jarmusch is a true original. This time around, the director tries his hand at the short film genre, delivering 11 shorts that are all based around the seemingly insignificant acts of drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. In the first short, Strange to Meet You, Steven Wright and Roberto Benigni discuss the perks of cigarettes and coffee. In Somewhere in California, Iggy Pop nervously tries to befriend Tom Waits, who decides that he can have a cigarette because he just quit. Cate Blanchett delivers a towering dual-role performance in Cousins, playing both her Hollywood superstar self as well as her bitter cousin. In a similarly titled yet totally different short, Alfred Molina and Steve Coogan are brilliant in Cousins
