In each of the eleven black and white mini-stories Jim Jarmusch has been doing since 1986, their protagonists discuss the most divisive topics over a cup of coffee and amid heavy cigarette smoking. Conversations for example about Paris in the 1920s, the use of nicotine as a means to kill insects or caffeinated popsicles.
The amusing episodes benefit from a lazy café atmosphere and from brilliantly written dialogues with a penchant for the bizarre.
In 2003, Jarmusch composed a feature film featuring prominent artistic figures: Tom Waits and Iggy Pop, Bill Murray, GZA and RZA, Jack and Meg White, Steve Buscemi, Alfred Molina, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchet and more.
