I doubt many have seen the unusual little film (or collection of films) "Coffee and Cigarettes". I only discovered it a few weeks ago and I've become something of a fan. I love the way it's shot and the dialogs. It brings back memories of the days I spent in Parisian coffee houses, people watching, randomly chatting and listening to other people while drinking loads of coffee, chain-smoking and generally being a slightly bitter/cynical coffee house philosopher,...
I don't smoke anymore and the only coffee houses I get the chance to frequent these days are ghastly soulless corporate places,... it kinda says something about the turns my life has taken in the past few years and the mistakes i've foolishly made to make those turns happen,....
so yeah,... Coffee and Cigarettes, check it out,.... and i'll have this pic finished at some point :)

I have never spent any time in a Parisian coffee house, but I have lurked around in the Amsterdam equivalent and I know what you mean about the corporate fakes lacking a certain soul. As for the videos, Coffee and Cigarettes are some of the best short videos around my man. I love the one with Tom Waits and Iggy Pop. The sure acquired tension sustained during the whole video is great.
