Screening

BFA Animation and BFA Film present a screening of Romance & Cigarettes (2005), starring James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon and Kate Winslet. A Q&A with director John Turturro will follow. 

In this musical that features characters lip-synching to classic songs, Nick (James Gandolfini), a Queens-based ironworker, lives with his wife, Kitty (Susan Sarandon), and three daughters. When Nick meets a significantly younger woman, Tula (Kate Winslet), he starts an affair with her, much to the chagrin of his wife, and his life is thrown into upheaval. Kitty kicks Nick out of the house, and he is forced to make some difficult decisions.
