ROMANCE AND CIGARETTES A film by John Turturro

Watch the trailer!

“A passionate ode to the sensual pulse of life in a
working-class neighborhood. A song-and-dance ‘Sopranos.’
Ms. Winslet looks hot enough to burst into flames. Crudely funny.”
– Stephen Holden, The New York Times

“A boldly quirky comedy/drama/musical. Like riding a roller coaster through a fun house.” – Jack Mathews, Daily News

“Wonderfully silly! Audiences will love this stuff. Delightful!” – Steve Dollar, The New York Sun

“The most original picture by an American director I’ve seen this year! A dazzling, bittersweet concoction, directed with verve and confidence. This is a once-in-a-lifetime underdog American classic. Do whatever you have to do to see it.”
– Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com

“A whimsical musical with an A-list cast. Raucous. Teems with song, dance, profanity and bawdy sex, all in good fun.”
– Mina Hochberg, amNY

Missing James Gandolfini? In this long-awaited, down and dirty musical love story, he stars as Nick Murder, a Queens construction worker and family man who lusts after the local hottie (Kate Winslet) as his seething wife (Susan Sarandon) goes on the warpath, enlisting aid from her Elvis-wannabe cousin (Christopher Walken). Getting Neanderthal marital advice from his best friend (Steve Buscemi) won’t save Nick’s skin! With Bobby Cannavale, Mandy Moore, Mary-Louise Parker, Aida Turturro, Barbara Sukowa, Elaine Stritch, Eddie Izzard, Amy Sedaris.
