    What happens to struggling artists when they get old? That's the premise behind Chinese Coffee, Ira Lewis' two-man play about a couple of failed writers putting an end to their friendship. Al Pacino wanted to immortalize the character he in part created off-Broadway and expanded on it through flashbacks and flashforwards that work well indeed, giving relief from the play's claustrophobic theatrical structure. The dialog is intricate and layered with irony (and hypocrisy), and the performances (of Pacino, Jerry Orbach, and a couple smaller roles) are uniformly excellent, making the small film quite rewatchable. 8 years 5 months ago
