Waits Week: Coffee and Cigarettes
May 6th, 2008
It’s Waits Week here, and we’ll start with my totally favorite scene from Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes; I thought the film itself was good enough- most of the vignettes stand on their own, but are a bit much watching in a row, for over an hour. The fastest I’ve ever seen someone fall asleep in a movie occurred at this one- twelve minutes. That said, this interplay between Waits and Iggy Pop is where its at.
