  • Jim Jarmusch Films Are Inspiring In A Way

    Other Film Director's Films Are Not. -

  • @chrisfilms84 vague.

    

  • @chrisfilms84 This is not a Jarmusch film?

  • @socoolio a Paul Auster and Wayne Wong film

  • Great interview except that annoying baseball ranting. Here Asia we don't dig baseball, except the Japanese. The Indians and Bangladeshi like cricket.

    Merci anyhow, for the subtiteles, too. No dubbing, please!

    Because dubbing makes people dumb.

  • both Sweeden and New York scare Julian Assange

  • You really don't need to see the whole movie after this. These ARE the best parts. Good thing sometimes, this Tube.

  • Reed lives in, like, Tewksbury or something. Next to Joe Piscopo.

  • harvey fuckin keitel

  • Jarmusch is cool as fuck.

  • Lou Reed, in my opinion, is underrated. When people talk about great songwriting, his name does not get mentioned that often.

  • @RockNRollOverDose Where do you live Wyoming?

  • so true

  • This is a film without a script, is pure improvisation.

  • just lik himself,excellant as always musically + his interviews loved the new york tour especially his comment i seen him london palladium 1990 i liked what he said 1 comment in particular he,ll never give up!!!!!

  • Two kings. JJ LR.

  • Lou's the man. Good to see all those drugs didn't leave lasting damage.

  • Lou Reed deserved a fucking Oscar.

  • @iv9nd he's a film director...this is not a film

  • and now I hear Lou Reed had nothing to do with turning Susan down.If I wrote a song & someone wants to sing it in a talent show they sing it.I don't care for the lowlife heroin users side of life.that's just the way it is.I don't resent the fact of dissing Lou Reed.I just want to play music sing songs and see and hear others do the same.III! there should be a universal rule that someone can do a talent show version of any song without being in violation of a copyright.if I was the judge!

  • @saltcitysuesey Have fun listening to Susan Boyle instead of Lou Reed. I'd personally rather kill myself. Or worse: move to Sweden

  • Comment removed

  • Lou Reed may be blue in the face but he'll be sportin' a set of black and blue balls if I ever get a chance to karate kick him in the crotch for what he did in putting down Susan Boyle and breaking her heart not letting her sing a song of his. I just threw his records into a trash burn barrel with a pint of petrol. Former Lou Reed fan here. Disclaimer: I am a peaceful person and would never actually kick Lou there, but I would sure like to. Susan Boyle is an Angel. My opinion. Suesey

  • @saltcitysuesey it wasnt his decision they say ......maybe you can reclaim the records from the trash? and just observe how easy it is for the media to turn a persons opinion....about anything..lesson learned:(to be completed ..)

  • Great film.

    Lou Reed is fucking hilarious!!!

  • es la mona jimenez

  • Sweden is pretty dangerous now do to imigration. Most crimes are done by people from Africa or Middle east. 

  • what's with the spanish subtitles? i don't need those.

  • @jaredrose2 you're not the only one watching youtube

  • wish this whole movie was on youtube. i guess ill have to pay for it. totally worth it.

  • it's from Blue In The Face, a film made out of small documentarie-style of footage and improv by a lot of actors.

    Also check out Smoke a film they filmed before this one, and when they were finished they just kept filming and invited people while another crew went around Brooklyn and interviewed people who live there, or some came to the store, like Jarmush. It's a wonderful piece.

  • Jim Jarmusch talks exactly like Steven Wright or it's just me? Also anyone knows which movie is this from?

  • Op sorry I just saw the title :p

  • he's being himself and that's enough.

  • is Lou wearing a wig?

  • Lou reed is one of the best things from NYC !!!!!

  • increible

  • are they playin themselves? can't be. strange for a movie.

  • Nah, not all of them :) atleast harvey keitel is acting somebody else... and the people who are playing themselves probably arent really acting like they would be in real life, they're just using their own names but the personality is different than in real life.

    Sounds confusing but try to understand :P

  • @johnnymclaneutah Thanks. Haven't seen it, but I will. And i will try my hardest to comprehend.

  • That's fuckin Harvey Keitel. Son of a bitch.

  • this is a MOVIE called BLUE IN THE FACE you morons. this is not Lou Reed dissing Sweden or lying about where he's from.

  • You dumb shit, he said the Dodgers were in Brooklyn, he was bent that they went to LA....They should hide the "Post Comment" button for people who are fuckin' dumb.

  • @Arkady63 Aww...Is that all you got, I was expecting something better. Let down by an idiot, I guess I'm stupid for expecting more from you.

  • @ivandrahgo Why does your reply look like a copy/paste? Do you send that cliche to everyone who outwits you?

  • @Arkady63 No, only you, but don't worry, it's a dead horse.....it can be left alone now....

  • lou reed looks crazy here lol jk but is he thats the real question

  • Good spirits, good people. Beautiful. Does anyone know who is the woman singing the first song in the video, the spanish one; and which song it is? She sounds out of my world, at least. Thanks in advance for letting me know...

  • Song is called God's child - David Byrne and Selena.

  • Thanks again Silentsteps66..."hasta la victoria, siempre". Have a good day, Red Mongrel, Adam

  • Christ's sake man...Lou Reed is such a legend.

  • Stop using youtube to promote your racist views and get a life...

  • Jim Jarmusch is great

  • jarmusch is god

  • Jim Jarmusch=Greatness

    Dead Man is a great example of it.

  • Jim Jarmush is the man.. prodused some good movies

  • Tremendo documento, gracias viejo, vivan Lou y Jarmusch!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • what is this movie called ?

    look really interesting :)

  • It's in the title man! "Blue in the face" PS: Also watch "Smoke", they are twins, these films ;)

  • aiit thx man :)

  • SVERIGE ÄGER!! SWEDEN RULES!

  • you mean,"too many muslims"? what have you against muslims? I don't think you would say that about finnish people or people from the Scandinavian who came to sweden, you're just scared of the unknown, grow up, and see the poeple. but I don't have time for this. see the movie instead, it's a fucking great movie, I think.

  • Maybe because, they must teach them the Swedish language to get a job, and if you know, that takes time. And then maybe the son steels, because they don't have any money. If we focus more on the problem instead of, focus on throwing them out, then we can create a better Sweden.

  • You don't know how it feels to come from a country that in so much in trouble that you can't even say your own opinion and you, my age doesn't matter

  • Middle east people wants tolerance but doesn't tolerate the way the western world works !

    People are afraid to go out after dark because of these animals!

    Sweden don't need another Laserman!

    Sweden needs a thousand new lasermen who can really aim!

    Freedom of speech is equally incomprehensible to Muslims as suicide bombers for the Swedes!

    The media should only monitor and report. Not influence and control as they do in Sweden!

    You are a typical Swede that's been fucked by Media!

  • Oh come on! You actually think that every Muslims are like the laserman, are you just prejudiced, or stupid. Yeah some of them are fucked but not all of them; Yeah and their country maybe not have the best control, but I think there is a lot of Muslims who tolerate the western way, and while we talk about fucked up religiously people, I can say that we have christens who are fucked. Everyone should be treated equal, where ever they are from, and be judged equal.

  • Maybe you have been fucked up by the media, we don't need another racist, just makes me like Sweden less. Like saying every Muslims are suicide bombers, is like me say every christens are gay-abort haters, and doing fucked up shit in the church (yeah we actually had that happen, I dont remember where in Sweden, but they were Swedish and were doing some fucked up shit in the church), maybe we should throw every christen person out, or maybe kill them, what do you think, smarty?

  • And you, I'm not fucked up by the media, my cousin is a immigrant (not Muslim but still) I have neighbors who are Muslims, and they are nice people, I don't need someone to tell me that the media brainwashed me, because I haven't listen to them. I got a brain of my own. You maybe been brainwashed by all this 9/11 racists shit (if you know what I mean)

  • And just an advice: if you dont like Sweden. Well, dont come. We dont force people to this country, we just help them. When I see people from country who there is a war going, coming to Sweden and are so thank full, I feel a little bit of patriotism.

  • Du är totalt dum i huvet. Muslimer våldtar svenska tjejer. Slår ner gamlingar och rånar 10- åringar på sina mobiler. Skolorna bränns ner. Kan du säga en sak som Muslimer tillfört sverige? Det kommer bara bli värre. SE om du är så positiv när din dotter blir våldtagen av ett gäng araber.

  • Va fan, måste jag ta sådant här skit igen! Är du seriös att du tror att muslimer har i sin natur att våldta, råna och bränna hus. Men vilken jävla idiot som helst fattar väl att utanförskap, låg ekonomi och bort tappad identitet skapar brottslighet.

  • Jag vet att ingen födds till att våldta, råna eller bränna hus. Att dom håller på med dessa saker är pågrund av att dom blir hjärntvättade att avsky ickemuslimer. Står i koranen att man inte ska lita på kristna och judar. Genom att läsa koranen får dom en skev världsbild. Att vara muslim innebär att man lever efter 1400 år gamla lagar. Och att människor som lever efter lagar som instiftades på 600-talet går omkring i vårat samhälle är fan läskigt.

  • För det första, om du skulle läsa bibeln bokstavligen (speciellt den gamla testamentet) så kommer du nog se att den är jävligt störd. Konstigt att minna föräldrar jobbar i svenska kyrkan, och just min mors jobb är att hjälpa invandrare som muslimer, hur kan svenska kyrkan hjälpa muslimer, om var enda en muslim nu hatar kristna och inte litar på dem?

  • att människor som lever efter lagar som instiftades på 600-talet går omkring i vårat samhälle är fan läskigt. svar: Men våra lagar har börjat komma nu på 1900 talet, kan ju nämna att lag mot aga fyller bara 30 år, det var inte länge sedan, och några mer år tillbaka så ansågs våld i relation att polisen/lagar inte skulle blanda sig i.

  • Om nu alla muslimer går efter sådana lagar, hur kan de då vara med i Sveriges arbetsmarknad, du fattar inte att de flesta tar hänsyn till Sveriges lagar. Varför just att de utvandrar är för att deras land är lite säkerhet, jag har hör de som argumenterat att de inte fick ha sin åsikt och utrycka sig i landet, för då kunde de bli döda.

  • Önskar att jag kunde se något positivt med all invandring men det gör jag inte. Du säger säkert att jag är en bakåtsträvare, rädd för förändringar. Ja, kanske. Men det här är ingen förändring till någonting positivt. När jag gick i plugget var det ett arabgäng som satt och snackade och en sa " svenska tjejer knullar man bara, sen gifter man man sig med en arabisk tjej" Sverige blir knullat i röven och det kallas för "kulturutbyte"

  • Det är intressant att du tycker så och att du uttrycker med ordet "kulturutbyte", för det är precis motsatsen till det som invandrare in svenska getton, tycker; att det handlar om en segration, alltså så som hände i Sydafrika, att man slänger in de i en slum, och låsas som de inte finns där. Diskriminerings kvinna (kommer inte ihåg vad hon heter) sa då att det handlar om att mötas på jobbet svenskar och invandrare.

  • Och jag tror lite smått på kultur blandning, liksom flera av våra traditioner är ju taget från andra nationer, ta bara lucia liksom. Men samtidigt som nya kulturer kommer till, ska vi spara det gamla och inte glömma bort Sverige. Sorry att det blev så mycket jag skrev, vill bara säga att den här diskutioner kommer nog inte komma så långt, du har din åsikt och jag har min.

  • okej. hur som helst så är invandringen för hög i sverige. sverige tar emot fler flyktingar från irak än hela usa. inte konstigt att det uppstår problem. det finns inte resurser att ta hand om så många. dessutom ställs inga krav, invandrares historia kontrolleras inte tillräkligt. brottsregister till exempel.

  • Jo det är väl sant att invandringen är väldigt hög, och att det kanske inte finns så värst höga krav, både på invandrare och resurser på att få invandrarna in i samhället. Dessutom tycker jag att små städer som ex trosa borde ta in flera, och att ex. rosengård eller södertälje, kanske borde minska, iallafall lite. Invandrarnas historia är jag väl kanske lite skeptisk till för det kan ge en förvirrad bild,

  • men samtidigt när den inte kontrolleras tillräckligt bra, då kan det bli en fela aktig bild, det finns ju parti och andra organisationer som har ljugit med fel aktiga faktorer, så om jag är för då ska det vara helt objektivt .

  • Jag anser att såna som har våldsbrott som våldtäkter och mord på sitt brottsrigister inte ska kunna komma in i landet. Jag tycker faktiskt att det är självklart att såna inte ska komma in och det annser nog dom flesta andra också. Rosengård är för övrigt ett exempel på vad för hög koncentration av invandring på ett ställe kan göra. Dom kastar ju för fan sten på brandbilar.

  • Rosengårds kravallerna kan man lika gärna jämföra med kravallerna i Danmark för några år sedan,samma anledning och jag tror nästan att Danmarks kravallerna var värre fast jag är inte säker. och ja det är på grund utan en "massa" skapades .

  • jag heter lou

  • kul för dig

  • Men du verkar ju inte vara en sådan som har haft en muslim i ditt hus, så du kommer nog bara stick- with -your -story. Men det är ju lite kul att du har sådana föruppfattade meningar när du lyssnar på Tom Waits som har grundat sin musik från jazzen och Lou Reed som skrev låten I Want To Be Black. Och du kommer nu säkert säga något med att jag är en typisk Svenne eller något sådant, eller att jag är dum i huvudet. tyck det, jag bryr mig inte.

  • Jag har absolut ingenting emot svarta människor. En av mina bästa kompisar är adopterad från sri-lanka. Det är inte hudfärgen jag bryr mig om. Jag är emot ISLAM. Muslimer anpassar sig inte till svenska lagar om den inte stämmer överens med koranen. Hur kan man lita på människor som bara läst en bok i hela sitt liv? Det var muslimer som brände ner biblioteket i alexandria vet du. Dom tål inte att man ifrågasätter islam.

  • Okej det var väl ett dåligt exempel, men om du inte har hör Tom Waits senaste skiva, så kan du ju lyssna på låten Road to Peace. Men det är ju som att säga att alla svenskar är exakt som livets ord. Man behöver inte vara en fundamentalist bara för man är muslim. Varför skulle man inte kunna tänka kritiskt bara för man är muslim, varför skulle man bara ha läst en enda bok?

  • i wonder if that reall was his last cig

  • If you all haven`t figured >>he doesn`t know much...

    heroin users usually are like that... lost in space.

    That is basicaly why he spoke as he did, it bothers him....

  • 6:30 funny

    my favorite films

  • "Coffee and cigarettes............thats like the breakfast of champions", yep I'll go for that, lol. ;-)

  • Lou Reed is an excellent song writter!!!What a legend never saw this before....

  • I like the subliminal flash of the Asian man.

  • if u think this is good. chech this out, david dickonson gets face fucked. best thing ave seen on you tube!!!! only 40 seconds long. you will laugh!!!! hillarious

  • Hahhaaa, I get scared in sweden... everything works. hahaha -classic!

  • "my childhood was so unpleasant i don't remember anything before the age of 31." hahahah i'll probably be the same way.

  • jim is hilarious! as is this whole bit :P "scared in sweden" hahaha.

  • Blue in the Face. Finally. I love Lou Reed.

  • lou reeds such hard on. how can he even stand himself

  • Maybe you are right but I think I could stand myself if I had written so many good songs like he has. Never mind everything else.

  • Jim eel hombre de los cigarillos y el sexo XD

  • I love this movie!

  • 6:30~ it's brilliant

  • its a health tool! lou's views

  • cool but i hate cigarettes. they gross me out.

  • J.J. is not so old,he just has that gray hair that make him older,than he actually is...in that movie he is maybe like around 40y

    But...he is still good looking..

  • Jarmusch does not age...what is his secret?

  • absolutely fantastic!

  • Blue In The face was actually better than Smoke

  • Can anyone tell me what is that song - no me dejes sola ven ven ven? It's feckin great.

  • Two of my favorite films

  • I love so much these two films (smoke and blue in the face)and i really don't understand why they did not became popular.

    There is an explanation: i think because it is an independent film and nobody is intrested to promote it in the US cause he will not make money. The free market does not exist in the US. There is only the monopoly of hollywood.All the rest is discarded.

  • Do you know that this film is the sequel of another brilliant independent film by same director and same actors called "SMOKE"?

  • so this is a movie ....wat?

  • the first time i saw this,i laughed so much it practically saved my life. i don't know if he know's it,but lou reed is one of the funniest fuckers on earth.

  • The film someone asked about is 'walk in the sun'.

  • Please tell me what the fuck is so great about Jim Jarmush.

  • the jarmush side

  • what's so great about Jarmusch and all other movie's like his, those that seem to have no point, what is great about these types of movies is that you set up a scenario that you wish would happen . . . how many times have you wanted something to happen just day dreaming but it never did . . . he just plays out ideas . . . and for those of us who are his fans that comforts and soothes us some things just don't need to have a lot of meaning

  • findingusernamesucks: nicely said. i definietly find comfort in jarmusch's films, you never know where his character is going to go, and you get so attached to them. also "seem to have no point" but somewhere deep down in the randomness we can find similarities. so is life really random? or do some people just pay attention to random events and begin to recognize they're not so random afterall?

  • Does anybody know from which movie the black& white fragments come? Jarmusch or Keitel mentions it...

  • It's interesting to think that Jarmusch, during his improv, mentioned coffee and cigarettes off the top of his head and put in to motion his thinking of making a film on the subject.

  • at the time this film was made, jarmusch had already made a few of the segments from the full length coffee and cigarettes film.

  • at the time this was being shot; Jarmusch had already made a few of the segments from the full length Coffee and cigarettes release.

    So i guess this is shameless plugging!

  • Oh my, Jarmusch's German accent is hilarious!

  • "it's kind of empty... they're all drunk... everything works..." lou reed is the greatest.

  • "I get scared in...Sweden." lol

  • Yo...BKLN!!!

  • to smoke is to bullshxx

  • i esa cancion?

  • You are safe as can be in NYC. Part of the reason is the u can be anonymous and blend in with the crowd.

  • Lou's great..

    I definitely understand where they're going with the reason for smoking, I know I owe partly to icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Marlon Brando, Tom Waits, Frank Zappa

  • masterpiece.

  • j'aime lou reed

  • This was filmed in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, just before I moved to France. Jim is from NE Ohio where I come from and we have friends in common.

  • Jim is so incredibly hot!!!!! My goodness, yummy!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • you wouldnt lat a day in martinsville

  • There are plenty of cities far more deadly than NYC.

    Hell, Baltimore, MD has a murder rate 9 times NYC and is only 1/7th the size of NYC.

    But he's not talking abut how tough NYC is, just how different.

  • i love FARC!! viva Chavez!!!!

  • It's cheap. Why does he just keep making movies about cigarettes? That's all he talks about, that and middle-aged men who believe they are in the know. C'mon Jim.

  • Actually, this film was made by Paul Auster and Wayne Wang, and it talks about much more than cigarettes alone...It talks about life and friendship and although it is a small and independent film, every time I see it it makes me feel good and makes me laugh!

  • Watching that was exceedingly enjoyable. Lou Reed is amazing, just hearing him talk is fun.

  • I grew up right near there, on the other side of the park. I remember punks to, we got them at the candy store except they were a tan color, not green.

  • I love Lou Reed and Jim Jarmusch! They are so funny. Watching this makes me want to move to NYC

  • "Breakfest of Champions" thats beautiful

  • Lou Reed doesn't remember anything before the age of 31 haha hilarious...but I don't think he's joking

  • Thats what ECT (Electro Chok Therapy) does to you. So in a way Lou Reed is not joking because he was commited in a mental institute as a teenager.

  • ^oops, I meant before, I'm a genius. lol

  • Great stuff, uneven but Jim Jarmusch on the gun as disposable lighter is a joy.

  • "My childhood was so bad I don't remember anything past age 31."

  • "Ive been thinking about leaving for 35 years... Im almost ready" lol!

  • que grande Jarmusch!

  • My fave part of the movie has to be Lou Reed explaining about the glasses he invented called "Lou's Views". I want a pair of those.

  • Cool! I'm sure I saw this before...

  • Lou Reed's 'Fro is da bomb!!!

  • Only Jim Jarmusch knows how to make smoking cool.  Thanks for posting it.
