Romance and cigarettes - The soundtrack of a life

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad, life isn't always the same. That's what "romance & cigarettes" obviously wants to show us.

It comes with a great cast: James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Christopher Walken, Kate Winslet and Steve Buscemi. And it also comes with a pleasant story that could happen everywhere around us.

Nick Murder(James Gandolfini) cheats his wife with a redhead hot girl from around the block since years. His marriage isn't working out anymore and when his wife finds out about the affair he has to choose between them two and she has to get her head, and feelings towards him, right again. And while she goes to the church he goes through hard struggeling between sex and love.

The movie is mixed up with various songs fitting the story and while the music plays, the characters sing with it. So we can, for example, see Christopher Walken killing "Delilah".

A good thing in between drama, comedy and just reality I would call the movie, not made for musical lovers but also watchable for people who don't see an artistical meaning in actors dancing around.
