If you like quirky, independent movies, please see “Romance and Cigarettes,” written and directed by John Turturro. I found this to be one of the best “small” movies I’ve ever seen in my life. Turturro uses musical numbers featuring song and dance with his actors in a most unusual, entertaining, and compelling fashion. I have no idea why this movie didn’t get more buzz.

It is quirky. Independent. You know, like “Royal Tennenbaums” or “Swingers” or “Snatch” or gee whiz, I’d have to go to my Netflix account. If you don’t like this weird movies, then “Romance and Cigarettes” is probably not for you. James Gandolfini (the “Sopranos” guy) does a song and dance number in this movie that breaks your heart.

Did you know that when a woman bends over, a man sees a jelly donut?

Or . . .

. . . there are two things that a man should be able to do: be romantic and smoke his brains out.

If those observations don’t interest you then the movie probably isn’t worth your time.

Otherwise . . .
