"Romance & Cigarettes
"
is a sensational musical drama directed by actor/filmmaker John Turturro. Featuring an all-star cast, the film follows the story of Nick Murder, a middle-aged iron worker (James Gandolfini) who strays from his beleaguered wife (Susan Sarandon) into the arms of a seductive sales girl (Kate Winslet). Featuring music by the likes of Tom Jones, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, and James Brown, the film's characters use their favorite songs as a means of communicating their deepest emotions.
Mandy Moore plays Baby, Nick's one-of-a-kind daughter. The youngest of three girls, Baby's personality is contrasted against sisters Connie (Mary-Louise Parker) and Rosebud (Aida Turturro). A tempestuous mixture of her fiery parents, Baby's only weakness is for her pompadour-sporting, James Brown-wannabe boyfriend, Fryburg (Bobby Cannavale).
Other co-stars including Steve Buscemi, Christopher Walken, and Eddie Izzard complete the unique fabric that is "Romance & Cigarettes." Produced by the Coen Brothers, this 2005 feature is a dish best served with an appetite for popular song, pointed comedy, and plenty of imagination.
