Several B&W short vignettes over coffee and cigarettes. Each one has a bird's eye view of a messy table, jet black cups of joe and overflowing ashtrays. Some are good, some fail - about 50/50 in my reckoning. It's cute, artsy fartsy, and has its moments. FWIW most of the actors can work a cig, which is a lost skill in acting nowadays. The top shorts are Robert Begnini (sp?) getting all tweaky, Cate Blanchette in a great double role, Alfred Molina and ...oh crap, I'm blocking on his name, and of course, the best one is RZA, GZA and Bill Murray. RZA gives quick props to Sophia and Shifu (Shi Yanming) which blow past most viewers I'm sure.
Tday 2014 has been a lot of coffee and salmon for me so this film worked a little better than it should have because I was in the mood for a caffeinated film. It's leaving Netflix this month so I thought I'd better catch it.
