Tom Waites and Iggy Pop meet in a midnight diner in Jim Jarmusch's 2003 film Coffee and Cigarettes.

This is a masterclass in storytelling that all filmmakers should watch! Using only eight shots, it conveys more personality than countless features.

One article on the filming history between Jim Jarmusch and Tom Waits noted: "On the day of filming, Waits was grumpy and exhausted from promoting his 1992 LP Bone Machine: “Maybe you better just circle the jokes ’cause I don’t see ’em,” he reportedly barked at Jarmusch. Eventually, he settled down. But, as Jarmusch recalls in Lowside of the Road, “I wanted him to keep some of that paranoid surliness in the script.”" Given that, one can wonder if there were any subsequent changes to Jarmusch's script. Still fun to see Waits as a dead-pan BS artist with Iggy as a trusting puppy dog. You might enjoy Iggy in "Coffee Therapy | Iggy Pop & Stumptown Coffee".

[@markoutwithmark]

My videography teacher showed us this and then turned us loose with our cameras. It was a great inspiration of how something as trivial as a cup of coffee between friends can be shot beautifully and hold your full attention.

awkwardness as high art

[@FlintSL]

I love how Tom leans into "The beauty of quitting..." part, you can really see his brain thinking of a way to get one of those cigarettes in his mouth. Iggy's curious face after this line is hilarious. Like some code has been unlocked to justify it all.

[@glitch1336]

[@keef7224]

I love how Iggy- who many consider to be one of the coolest cats ever- is really just so insecure and eager to ingratiate himself with Tom, who is actually way cooler than him. But then in the end it’s Tom who’s shown to be just as insecure by checking to see if he’s really not on the jukebox! 🤣

This is the perfect thing to watch where you’ve quit smoking but you’re having one, you know, because when you quit you can have one if you want. IHOP’s a classy brew ... I remember seeing this in the theater and everyone lit up in unison as soon as they exited the theater. Thanks Jarmusch

This is such a deep movie, its hard to spot what exactly the creators were trying to convey at times but it was a complex set of emotions.

Best sketch in the whole movie! 2 famous eccentric baby boomer musicians (of no particular genre anyone ever pinned anything on) who've always been their own solo act lead singers, never a band. Kind of like 2 lone wolves briefly crossing paths. I wonder if there's ever been a public interaction with em' ever since!

There are a bunch of these (the one with Bill Murray & wootang is great too) but this one is my favorite. These two shoulda been bigger actors. If this is improv- they fuckin NAIL it!

I used to think Tom Waits was doing his best "Cosmo Kramer" in this scene. Now I contend Michael Richards styled his "Seinfeld" character, in part at least, after Tom Waits

[@MrImASkeleton]

Michael Richards Kramer predates this movie with 24 years, so no.

[@vitaliyzakharov6708]

@@MrImASkeleton but Tom Waits persona has been consistent way before seinfeld

[@BrucknerMotet]

One of the cool things about this sweet scene is that it shows, primarily through Waites' repeated asking of "what are you saying?", that language itself is primarily a tool used to make points, and to make them clearly, with the primary goal of language being to get one's point across without your interlocutor having to continually ask "what are you saying?" The entire scene is a a Ted Talk on how failure to reveal one's cards can derail an otherwise budding convo. The banter is ok, and the short periods of silence between each speaker's speaking are both welcome and laudable. But I get a feeling that Iggy and Tom might have prolonged the pleasure of each other's company, and perhaps might have grown closer had Iggy and Tom to some extent been more "pointed" in what they had to say to each other. But alas this was all pre-planned in the script, the entire concept being to show, within the structural confines of "coffee and cigarettes", how friendship-forging or friendship-growing convo can become slowly but surely derailed by a certain bumbling and stumbling of conversational banter. And if you want to be cynical you can always assume that all Iggy wanted out of Tom for instrumental purposes was to get him to consider possibly hiring the "industrial" drummer, and when Tom expressed disinterest, that's about when Iggy kind of lost interest and said I've gotta be going. Or the more modest interpreter might just conclude that their mutual insincerities built up too much to the point of Iggy having to get going because it was Tom's favorite bar and he was going to keep hanging out there regardless.

I’m doing it now at 11:50 pm on my back porch in Denver, Colorado. The first time I did it was in my barracks room on a ten acre Army base in the middle of nowhere farmland Bavaria, Germany in 2002, and drank so much coffee I gave myself an anxiety attack. It’s definitely a great experience to revisit every once in awhile, and will really accelerate your mind, but a little too much if you don’t pace yourself on the caffeine and nicotine.
