Coffee and Cigarettes (Jim Jarmusch 2003) w/ Trevor Young

Mar 25

Felicia is joined by Trevor Young (Supervising Producer at iHeartPodcasts) to discuss Jim Jarmusch’s anthology film of character’s everyday conversations in Coffee and Cigarettes (2003)

We chat about how it was filmed over the course of three decades, and how the use of multiple cinematographers helps reflect the respective eras in which the vignettes were shot. Along with how each individual chapter does end up telling a broader story of human interaction and how we can see ourselves in these conversations.

Send us your thoughts on the episode - which vignette is your favourite? Let us know by sending us a message on any of our social platforms or by email: seeingfacesinmovies@gmail.com
