Hi everyone - I'm not a doctor, just work in a doctor's office as a Patient Administrator.
Yes, "Romance and Cigarettes" was supposed to be released in the US August 19th. The exact reason for the delay wasn't given except to say it would instead be premiering in the Venice and Toronto Film festivals (good promotion) which were both held in the past couple of weeks. No official US release date has been announced as of yet. No official site or trailer as of yet either.
Amazing cast consisting of James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Mandy Moore, Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi and Kate Winslet among others and directed by John Turturro.
