PLOT
Coffee & Cigarettes has no plot. Usually you think this kind of story is in dissary. But not this one. It consists of very small stories, in which people meet over coffee & cigarettes and discuss things ranging from the norm to the very out-there.
The characters aren't introduced long enough for any effectiveness. They are an interesting bunch though. Since it's all short stories, it doesn't really matter.
All the short stories are crafted with in such a Jim Jarmusch normality style, it's impossible not to be entertained.
FAVORITE SCENE
Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil.
