I can't find out the release date for Coffee and Cigarettes in the
UK. Does anyone know?

Is there audio on the "behind the scenes" feature in the extras' menu?

My copy carries the feature as a silent piece.


Looks rather cold in Ohio.

Welcome!  And thanks so much for sharing your experience with us.

Class cancelled on account of Jarmusch.  That's great.

I saw Jarmusch at Columbia College in Chicago - 12/03.  He screened Mystery
Train
and then spoke and took questions for about 30 minutes.  He was great.  A
student
asked about what he thought about having "conflict" in film to move the
narrative.  JJ
replied by saying that he hated conflict.  He doesn't like conflict in his
films.  The
student again asked if it was necessary to move the plot.  He said, "I don't." 
The
whole room was silent for what seemed like a long time.  He also said that he
owns
every film negative and it is sitting at his house in a freezer--I paraphrase,
but I am
sure that was his tone.  It was a great exerience.  I had a shoot set up in my
Lighting
Class that day and it was cancelled because he was going to speak--and because
everyone ditched class (ha)--but it was worth it.  I shot my project a week
later.  He
was in town to guest host at the Movieside Film Festival in Chicago @ The
Biograph
Theater.  He showed a short, "Int.-Night-Trailer and Down By Law.  Anyway, I'm
new
here.  Thanks for the site.  Best,

Interview from Indiewire about C&C:

Interesting bit from this ( http://www.itechnology.co.za/index.php?
click_id=3&art_id=qw1074588482855N234&set_id=1 ) article on "The Last
Samurai":

"Jim Jarmusch, the indie director who's so cool he's frozen, began
the American fetish for this culture a few years ago with his movie
Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai. It's the everyday story of a New York
hitman who lives by the ancient Samurai code. Soon after the film's
success, Samurai textbooks became best sellers and now Mr Top Gun
himself is slashing his way to a movie house near you."

An article on "Ten Minutes Older"...

soon?

Hey guys, goto videoeta.com, they tell movies release dates, there
is one for Coffee And Cigarrettes, saying it comes out in July of
2004.  The dvd cast list has all the people that he made a coffee
and cigarrettes with so apparently its the complete collection, this
is great for me as I have wanted to see them for a really long
time.  Anyone with any info on this please post it.

A film featuring Thee Headcoats' Billy Childish called "Medway Bus
Ride" will premiere at the preview of the Renegade Visions
International film festival at Knitting Factory in NYC on November

A film festival inspired by the works of Jim Jarmusch among others.
See their statement of purpose.

Jarmusch's take on Casablanca ... or Roman Holiday would no doubt be
amusing.

Good point about the linear map of the movie. He also manages to cage
the essence of the Hagakure, which meanders across the pages, no
particular destination to speak of ...

Love Jarmusch in general, but have become inexorably addicted to
Ghost Dog ... the blending of the real & surreal - the fusion of
ancient & modern ...

plus the soundtrack & acting.

Any fans of JJ's take on Bushido?

Will

Anybody check out the latest issue of INTERVIEW MAGAZINE? Jim
interviews Jack and Meg White of THE WHITE STRIPES. No pics of Jim
but a good interview.
                                     Cheers John

From the fabulous Mr. Ludvig Hertzberg:

alright

Via amazing Mr. Larry DaSilveira:

From the Contributors section of Interview magazine (May 2003):

JIM JARMUSCH, "The White Stripes," Page 88
"Music is the most beautiful form of _expression," says filmmaker Jim
Jarmusch, who interviews Jack and Meg White for this issue.  A fan of
his subjects since hearing their first album De Stijl, he recently
directed the two in a short film called Coffee and Cigarettes (Jack
Shows Meg His Tesla Coil), part of an ongoing series.  Jarmusch is
currently working on an as as-yet-untitled feature project, as well
as other shorts for his series.

"The National Film Registry has unveiled its latest list of 25
American cinematic works selected for historical preservation, and
heading up the class of 2003 are director Ridley Scott's 1979
franchise-launching sci-fi masterpiece Alien, John Singleton (news)'s
Boyz N the Hood and Rob Reiner's side-splitting 1984 faux
rockumentary This Is Spinal Tap.
<snip>
And like previous years, this batch is about as diverse as can be,
with kiddie offerings like 1979's The Black Stallion and Disney's
1991 'toon Beauty and the Beast riding alongside Gene Autry (news)'s
1938 Western Melody Ranch and indie auteur Jim Jarmusch (news)'s
Stranger Than Paradise (1984)."

At amazon.de (the amazon.com in Germany), there is a video
that has "Permanent Vacation" and the first "Coffee & Cigarettes" short film.
I'm not sure if that video has German subtitles or not, and I don't know
where you would be able to obtain "Coffee & Cigarettes" 2 and 3, but I
recommend you buy that German video, because "Permanent Vacation" is
excellent (and has been out of print in the US since 1984).
