Revolutionary Road
(Friday, Dec. 26, 2008)
Leo and Kate, together again — but be prepared. The romantic, passionate young lovers you remember from Titanic are gone in their latest Oscar-baiting outing, Revolutionary Road. In their place is a young married couple, Frank and April Wheeler, who in the 1950s see their marriage tested. Even though they move into the nice house on the nice road with the nice kids, these two vow never to fall into the pitfalls of the suburban inertia surrounding them. They think the American Dream will be different for them. Yeah, right, good luck with that. No cool, martini-drinking, chain-smoking Mad Men chic in this one, folks. This is just a very sad — and oh-so-compelling — look at the dissolution of a marriage, stifled by the social confines of their era.
