A savage musical.
Romance and Cigarettes is a down-and-dirty musical love story set in the world of the working class. Nick (Gandolfini) is an ironworker who builds and repairs bridges. He's married to Kitty (Sarandon), a dressmaker, a strong and gentle woman with whom he has three daughters. He is carrying on a torrid affair with a redheaded woman named Tula (Winslet). Nick is basically a good, hardworking man driven forward by will and blinded by his urges. Like Oedipus at Colonus, he is sent into exile and searches to find his way back through the damage he has done.
In an imaginative, humorous, and touching way, Romance and Cigarettes explores the cost and value of a relationship through life and death. When the characters can no longer express themselves with language, they break into song, lip-synching the tunes lodged in their subconscious. It is their way to escape the harsh reality of their world - to dream, to remember, and to connect to another human being.

A great surprise!Review created: 15/02/07

I absolutly loved this film and I was very surprised when I saw it!
I love James Gandolfini in the Sopranos and I was apprehensive to see his performance in this film. It was brilliant!
The Film is a kind of new age musical with a fantastic cast and a fantastic soundtrack!
I would say this film is like Marmite! You either love it or you hate it, as me and my twin sister watched it together and had very different views!
But I would say all in all a fantastic film with a tear jerking end!

Original masterpiece!Review created: 05/11/06

If you are a big fan of the T.V. series "Sopranos", you shall enjoy witnessing various characters in different roles. Kate Winslet is particularly entertaining as she plays an excellent seductress. This is a quirky movie with famous (classic) songs illustrating the emotions of the characters in touching circumstances. A very witty entertaining movie!
