The so-called film of the month, Romance and Cigarettes, by John Torturo is another interpretation of Coffee and Cigarettes, with the only difference that Coffee… was a film where singers performed as actors, and Romance … is a film where actors like James Gandolfini, Stewe Bush, Susan Surrandon and Kate Winslet perform as singers. I won’t dwell upon the plot f the film, because the only genre-classification as “tragicomic musical about workers” is enough to put even a monster into a sopor.
In case you’ll chose to watch it in the cinema, you should know that the main clash is when the central character Nick Murder (James Gandolfini) has got to chose between a comfortable wife (Susan Sarrandon) and a passionate red-haired hag (Winslet). Of course, it doesn’t lead to anything good. Despite that everybody is singing and dancing in which connection you start to wonder what you have paid your money for. For instance, there is an Elvis fan of a very advanced age, with a face of a serial murderer and a voice of Tom Jones. Or there is a ladies man with goggled eyes and spinous teeth, who is advising everybody as for how to treat women. Characters like that are backed with any other dozen of large-caliber monsters who make you meditate whether you are having a nightmare or sitting in the cinema and watching a movie.
