This shortcut repeats the structure of Coffee and Cigarettes. This time, Iggy Pop and Tom Waits meet in a bar. But, again, we don't know why they agreed to do that in the first place, because they don't seem to know each other very well and they don't have much to talk about, so the conversation wanders idly and hilariously as they sip their coffee and smoke cigarettes.

Cameramen and women discuss the craft and art of cinematography and of the "DP" (the director of photography), illustrating their points with clips from 100 films, from Birth of a Nation to Do the Right Thing. Themes: the DP tells people where to look; changes in movies (the arrival of sound, color, and wide screens) required creative responses from DPs; and, these artisans constantly invent new equipment and try new things, with wonderful results. The narration takes us through the identifiable studio styles of the 30s, the emergence of noir, the New York look, and the impact of Europeans. Citizen Kane, The Conformist, and Gordon Willis get special attention.

地球という星の、ロサンゼルス、ニューヨーク、パリ、ローマ、ヘルシンキという5つの都市で、5人のタクシー・ドライバーが乗客を乗せた。同じ夜にそれぞれに繰り広げられる5つの物語。本作はジャームッシュの作品に共通して見られる奇妙な可笑しさ、卓越したセンスが冴える会話に加え、背景に広がる空しさに満ちた荒涼感は健在であり、その独自の雰囲気で好き嫌いがハッキリと二分される彼の作品にしては割りと門戸が広く、様々な人が楽しめる作品に仕上がっている。特に、ニューヨークが舞台の話と、ロベルト・ベニーニ主演によるパリの話がお勧め。

Randy Quaid as the taxi driver drives Zen parables (Is time money - Is time the root of all evil?) into his passenger/protegee in a high-speed, idiosyncratic tour of their city's ethnic coteries. All the boy wants is to dispose of his date's dead dog Jasper and get back to the babe who's so hot she mutters darkly about being a Pressure Cooker: his conventional efforts are continually thwarted. Quaid is respected by the peculiar groups he interests in the dog's corpse and effects, and our one-gloved heroine is much keener on him than on her rather lackluster date.
