Abstract

This article arises from the spell of the combination between coffee and the seventh art, this document tries to think about the different representations, meanings and senses that arise after observing the mysterious dark drink projected on the big screen. In order to inhale the deep aroma of coffee, a mythical feature film by Jim Jarmusch is carefully reviewed, plus an analysis of a short film by David Lynch, and begins with a “top ten” (10) of movie scenes that would not be the same without the Coffee, as a drink and space for social interaction, prepared by prestigious filmmakers of the American scene.

This article is, for the time being, only available in Spanish: Representaciones, significados y sentidos al degustar una taza de café en la gran pantalla
