German label Atlas Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray John Turturro's Romance & Cigarettes (2005), starring James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Christopher Walken, and Kate Winslet. The release, which will be distributed by Koch Media, will be available for purchase on September 28th.
Currently, there are no supplemental features announced for this release.
Nick (Gandolfini) is an ironworker who builds and repairs bridges. He's married to Kitty (Sarandon), a dressmaker, a strong and gentle woman with whom he has three daughters and must struggle to cope with her husband's betrayal. He is carrying on a torrid affair with a flame haired seductress named Tula (Winslet). It is only through a tragic twist of fate that Nick finally understands the extent of the pain he has inflicted on his family. With time running out he discovers the essential value of Kitty's love and respect.
In an imaginative, humorous, and touching way, Romance & Cigarettes explores the cost and value of a relationship through life and death. When the characters can no longer express themselves with language, they break into song, lip-synching the tunes lodged in their subconscious. It is their way to escape the harsh reality of their world - to dream, to remember, and to connect to another human being.
