Romance and Cigarettes” is the new project from actor, writer and director John Turturro. Set in contemporary America, this film is a down-and-dirty musical love story set in the world of the working class — a dark comedy that tells the story of one man’s journey into infidelity and redemption. The film revolves around the repercussions of Nick Murder’s (James Gandolfini) adultery and doomed fascination with a red-haired seductress, Tula (Kate Winslet). For Kitty (Susan Sarandon), Nick’s long-suffering wife, his treachery is the final straw. It is only through a tragic twist of fate that Nick finally understands the extent of the pain he has inflicted on his family. In an imaginative, humorous and touching way, “Romance and Cigarettes” explores the cost and value of a relationship through life and death. With its cast, expect this film to be one of the best of the summer.
