Sex, kofe, sigarety

Eleven comedic vignettes featuring conversations – some important, some less so – held in restaurants over coffee and cigarettes (how quickly time flies – cigarettes are banned in Russia’s restaurants now). The conversations are candid, and even veer into the territory of murder. In the final credits, the director apologizes to Jim Jarmusch, whose work (in the anthology Coffee and Cigarettes, which Jarmusch shot in pieces over many years) Oldenburg-Svintsov is clearly indebted to. Sex, Coffee, Cigarettes’s kinship with Jarmusch’s film extends to the fact that superstars play tiny roles in almost all of the vignettes.

Plot

Who would you meet in Moscow restaurants! It seems that all people come for is the pleasure of a tasty meal or a nice coffee with a cigarette? By no means: they come here because of the stormy life! Here coffee plantations are bought and sold, cool maniacs and dexterous pickpockets are handled here, dissertations about sexual attitudes are written, and a lot more can be seen here! There are fleeting conversations, there are people having sex in secluded places and demographic problems are solved here, and people find their one only love or split for ever...
