Ingenious new Jarmusch movie

I just watched Jim Jarmusch's (bio,filmography) latest movie "Coffee and Cigarettes" (trailer). Ingenious film, great cast! It took Jarmusch 17 years to finish the picture, which began as a short skit for “Saturday Night Live” and evolved into a series of 11 vignettes that revolve around conversations between different characters as they smoke cigarettes or sip coffee. BTW: Actor Roberto Benigni (love him) was 34 when he filmed his part (the same year he also did one of my all-time favorites, "Down By Law" with Jarmusch, now he's 51. The New York Times writes: "The implication that beauty and meaning can be found in odd places at unlikely, idle moments resonates through this lovely film. - Movie reviews here and here, Jarmusch interview .
