Eleven beautiful vignettes assembled to deliver a theme regarding life and characters around coffee and cigarettes. If you know me, then you should know how much I would enjoy this film, and I sure did. IT WAS PERFECT. I would watch it over and over again. In fact, I'm seriously considering going out and getting a copy of it.
It's all shot in black and white though the movie's not actually that old.. 2003 release ! In the special features section, there is a music video-ish clip of only the tabletop shots in the movie.. SO ENJOYABLE !!!!! DEFINITELY CHECK IT OUT-

But ultimately, this movie is about short scenes where all sorts of artists come together to ACT. To really, truly act. It's like watching a theater play through film. It's not really like a "movie." Amazing. Brought me back to the nostalgic days of when I used to do some pinner high school drama things.. Hehe. They all use their own names in the movie and by the end, I believe that you can really develop more of a love towards everyone who had participated in this lovely project. Oh, you may also get to love Tesla, the inventor. ;) Inside joke to people who have watched the flick, hehe.

Mind you, all the vignettes were STELLAR, just that I had felt something more with the bolded ones !! Plus ! Plus ! According to IMDb, most of the vignettes were completed in two or three takes with the actors improvising most of the time. SWEET DEAAAALS.

The best part of the movie is that if you drink coffee to the moment you fall asleep, you dream faster. YES. YES. YES. I'M GOING TO TEST IT OUT THIS MOMENT. IT'S 11:20PM RIGHT NOW. LET'S SEE IF I DO DREAM FASTER.

Here, you can actually watch most of the movie on YouTube. For some reason, it only starts from part three.. but the uploader's got the rest of the movie uploaded:
