Coffee and Cigarettes
So this isn’t even a movie, it’s like a series of Youtube videos (“short films” I believe they used to call them) that are just crammed together. They’re of wildly varying quality, and all have that shambolic aimlessness that I associate with improv (although I don’t know if they’re actually improvised or not).
The upside of it is, each individual vignette is like maybe 10 minutes or something, and so a 10-minute thing where nothing happens awkwardly isn’t that bad. The downside is, it goes for 90 minutes all told, and 90 minutes of nothing happening awkwardly is absurd.
Not really recommended.
