Movie reviews: Romance & Cigarettes

After sitting on a shelf for two years, John Turturro’s Romance & Cigarettes, a boldly quirky comedy-drama-musical about a fractured marriage in working-class Queens, has danced its way into limited release. If you’re game for something different, it’s worth a few giggles.
Inspired by British dramatist Dennis Potter, whose The Singing Detective had actors lip-synching to songs that conveyed their characters’ feelings, R&C is even loopier in its colorful crudeness and its outrageously silly choreography.
James Gandolfini plays Nick Murder, a bridge worker whose wife, Kitty (Susan Sarandon), intercepts a salacious love note from his mistress, Tula (Kate Winslet). The emotional blowouts that follow are both acted out and relayed in song and dance.
Nick takes to the street in front of his small frame house and is joined by garbage collectors as they all sing over Engelbert Humperdinck’s A Man Without Love. Winslet’s hilariously tart Tula is introduced in a flame-colored gown to the music of the Buena Vista Social Club’s El Cuarto de Tula. And Christopher Walken, as the Elvis wanna-be who helps Kitty locate Nick’s girlfriend, arrives on the lyrical wings of Elvis’ “Trouble”.
A Cyndi Lauper song is played behind a montage of dancing pregnant women and the outpatient circumcision of Nick, whose scream merges with Lauper’s on the “I’m” in “I’m just a prisoner of love”. The story is rudimentary: Wife catches husband; wife punishes husband; husband seeks redemption. But getting through the cycle is like riding a roller coaster through a fun house. And everybody is in on the joke.
The large cast includes Mandy Moore, Aida Turturro and Mary-Louise Parker as Nick’s confounded children, Elaine Stritch as his scolding mother and Steve Buscemi as the co-worker loaded with bad advice. Turturro drops the music and the jokes for a soap-opera ending that doesn’t match the rest of the movie, but getting there is a gas.
