      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Filmed over the last two decades, Coffee And Cigarettes is an entertaining and witty collection of 11 black-and-white vignettes that basically revolve around, well, people drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits black-and-white images that are intriguingly photographed. The gray scale is well balanced, and often centers at newspaper gray, with few truly bright whites. Images are sharp and detailed, with satisfying textures. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered. There is some film grain and a few flecks of dirt noticed in the source element. Edge enhancement is not a problem with this title, and there are only a few occasions in which pixelization detracts from the visuals. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #116 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is my favorite magazine because it is different from all the other A/V magazines. The ads are better, and it seems like all the others (that I subscribe to) have the same boring ads. You also have better product information in your equipment reviews. I love the DVD New Release section. It tells me how much I have to save up for DVD purchases. My favorite section is the Coming Soon To A Retailer Near You section. I have learned so much from this magazine I use information from it every day of my life. I am an A/V fanatic. (ask my wife). Anyway, I will subscribe to this mag forever. Thanks for such a great magazine
