Price £11.5

A comic series of short vignettes, Coffee and Cigarettes feature an assortment of kookily engaging conversations between the likes of Bill Murray, Tom Waits, Iggy Pop and Steve Buscemi.

27th and 30th September.

Jarmusch’s feature compilation of a series of shorts made over a decade and a half finds a marvellously motley assortment of folk (sort of but not quite playing themselves) discussing a wide range of topics as diverse as caffeine popsicles, Paris in the '20s, and the use of nicotine as an insecticide over coffee and cigarettes. Shot by top DoPs like Robby Müller and Fred Elmes, with the cast including the likes of Cate Blanchett, Steve Buscemi, Steve Coogan, Bill Murray, Iggy Pop and Tom Waits, the film is a funny, ingenious – and finally very touching – demonstration of how to make the most out of very little.
