(John Turturro, US 2005, 115 min., 35mm)

“**** (four stars) A film that breaks out of Hollywood jail with audacious originality, startling sexuality, heartfelt emotions, and an anarchic liberty.” (Roger Ebert). Famed actor and filmmaker John Tuturro’s third feature as writer/director examines the love triangle between embattled married couple Nick (James Gandolfini) and Kitty (Susan Sarandon), and Nick’s mistress, Tula (Kate Winslet). A profane and tragicomic working class love story with musical numbers, the amazing supporting cast includes Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, and Eddie Izzard. Turturro will introduce Romance & Cigarettes and answer questions following the screening.
