A Savage Musical
Turturro's A-list, game-for-anything cast includes James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet (like you've never seen her before), Christopher Walken (in his second movie musical this year, following HAIRSPRAY), Steve Buscemi, Mary Louise Parker, Mandy Moore, Aida Turturro, Bobby Cannavale, Eddie Izzard and Elaine Stritch (as Gandolfini's mother!). The songs are by James Brown, Janis Joplin, Engelbert Humperdinck, Tom Jones, and Bruce Springsteen and they illuminate the working-class characters' hopes, dreams, fantasies and, finally, the way life really is when a large man (Gandolfini) lives in a small house with his wife (Sarandon), two daughters (Parker and Moore) and a niece (Turturro) and ends up having a torrid affair with an oversexed underwear salesgirl (Winslet).
