'romance & cigarettes' my favorite scenes part four

John Turturro's ROMANCE & CIGARETTES teeters on the brink of collapse at every single moment, just like the fragile characters that inhibit the film's frantic, manic world. The result is an unsettling, exhilarating, and thrillingly alive spectacle of a motion picture. He creates a world that is on the verge of absolute collapse, with characters who are clearly desperate to retain a connection to someone or something in our harsh modern world.

It's karaoke with a vengeance, the circle of the inferno that Dante could never in his wildest imaginings anticipate.
