Revolutionary Road
Genre: Drama, Adaptation
Release Date: December 26
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Kathy Bates, David Harbour, Michael Shannon
Scoop: A young married couple -- Frank (DiCaprio) and Emma (Winslet) -- tries to find fulfillment in an age of conformity. Trapped in a world of encoded convention, they dream without faith, as lies and self-deceptions build to explosive consequences.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: Their first onscreen, notorious high seas smooch 11 years ago made cinematic history, on the doomed ocean liner. Switching from the ocean to the land, the impact won't ever be quite the same ... but many of us will still run to see if that romantic vibe, a decade later, still makes us swoon.
Snapshot Prediction: 4 out of 5 flashes
