Romance & Cigarettes John Turturro 2005 USA A working class New York family fall apart when the father's infidelity is found out... Interesting, clever and original, with James Gandolfini in a role which is, in many ways, very similar to that of Tony Soprano - and there are signs here that he could break his tough guy typecast, but probably won't. It's a musical at heart, and the Coens' influence on Turturro results in a wordy, winding film with no real sense of consistency in tone or rhythm. In fact, it has a lot going for it, bar the sense of emptiness once you've left the cinema.

Funny and entertaining, but as slight and shallow as cinema can be?
