Iggy and Tom - Coffee and Cigarettes
February 11th, 2008 by Pete - - Posted in Video |
Tonight, I bought a Henry Rollins Show off of iTunes for $1.99. He interviewed the Stooges. Great interview. Off I went to YouTube to watch some old Stooges footage. Sooner or later I ended up watching this clip from Jim Jarmusch’s 2003 film Coffee and Cigarettes. I sat transfixed for this 10 minutes of uncomfortable conversation between Iggy Pop and Tom Waits. There’s something about this clip that just reeled me in. I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
Needless to say, Coffee and Cigarettes just went to the top of my Netflix queue.
Tasty Update: Just posted this morning, the Popdose Complete Idiot’s Guide to Tom Waits!

Not a mindblowing film, but definitely one worth seeing. I was of course partial to vignettes with musicians- Tom/Iggy, White Stripes, GZA/RZA…definitely some great moments.

I’ve seen this film a handful of times and I the Iggy/Tom vignette always stands out.
