Slowly Learning...

So this was an interesting one. Apparently it was shot over the course of a couple years in between other projects, and then put together. So it's almost like a little side project. Starring numerous celebrities (Including Bill Murray, The RZA, The GZA, The White Stripes, Iggy Pop, Steven Wright, etc.) it's a collection of black and white scenes where these people meet up (generally in pairs) for coffee and cigarettes in various locales. The conversations range from the normal (2 french dudes meeting after a long time) to the bazaar (Jack White showing his homemade Tesla coil to Meg White), and most of them are bazaar, which is right up my alley. There are a lot of reoccurring topics (mainly the idea of just coffee and cigarettes as being an unhealthy lunch), but each scene has its own unique charm to it. The black and white atmosphere added to the whole experience as well, almost adding a sense of timelessness to the whole thing. Overall it may be a hard movie to find in theatres, but it's worth it if you can.

RATING: Worth a Full Price Ticket, Worth a Rental
