About this product

Product Information

Those who were waiting for the romantic reunion of TITANIC's Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet may be surprised by what they find in REVOLUTIONARY ROAD. The movie begins with a sweet scene where Frank (DiCaprio) and April (Winslet) meet at a party, but the rest of this drama based on Richard Yates's novel is devoted to watching the destruction of their marriage and their selves in 1950s suburbia. Frank works at a job he hates in New York City, then commutes home to two children and a wife who feels none of them belong in their cookie-cutter town. Their realtor (a fine Kathy Bates) recognizes their specialness and introduces them to her mentally unstable son (BUG's Michael Shannon, in another good, unhinged performance) in an effort to establish some normalcy for the man. However, Frank and April's marriage is not as perfect as it seems to the outside world, and the audience gets to witness their downfall. With its commentary on conformity and finding identity, REVOLUTIONARY ROAD bears more than a passing resemblance in both theme and tone to the TV series MAD MEN and director Sam Mendes's previous film AMERICAN BEAUTY. The characters here may live in a polite age where men wear ties and hats and women clean the house in skirts and heels, but the dialogue often enters brutal territory. Less capable actors wouldn't have been able to capture the volatile chemistry between Frank and April, but DiCaprio and Winslet are as wonderful at uttering sweet nothings as they are at tearing each other apart with verbal barbs. Mendes, directing his wife, Winslet, for the first time, is a perfect match for the source novel's lack of sentimentality and its wry commentary on life in the 1950s that still resonates half a century later.

    A Great Film!

    First, I rented this movie. I liked so much that I now own a copy. In many ways, it is so similar to my younger years (I just turned 66). It is a great movie.

    1950s trapped housewife

    This film was too engaged in anger , the plot never went anywhere,a couple meets falls in love early in film leading you to beleive okay lets see where this goes, then it settles into the two fighting all the time, the gist of the film is how the 50s woman felt trapped , stuck as a housewife always trying to please the man but never herself ,i do believe that how it was for a woman but i doubt that much fighting went on in the 50s showing life's anger today in the 1954 kate played her part well and so did lee

    Good Acting and an enjoyable story

    Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, who teamed up in the blockbuster movie TITANIC, get together again for Revolutionary Road. The movie is set in the 1950s in suburban America. Frank (DiCaprio) works as a salesman for a large company (the same job his father worked at) he commutes from the suburbs every day to join his fellow workers at this dull, dead end job. April (Winslet) is the typical suburban housewife who stays at home to cook, clean and take care for the children. Frank and April not only hate their lives, they hate their neighbors, their relatives and they even hate each other. When April comes up with a plan that will change their lives, hope appears to be around the corner, yet with all of the "best laid plans' this one too must come to an end. This was a good movie, it ...

    i give it 569590675496 stars!!!!!!!!

    it was epic! it was SO well done. the acting... the chemistry between kate and leo is just unreal and they should be together in real life. not that titanic didn't already show that, but god, this movie did 395864395876958 times more. they're just extrodinary together. that is my most favorite movie ever. i loved how real the arguments were. it was all just so well done. i love love love love love that movie. it was just phenomenal to me. i can't get over the actor and actress those two are. there isn't another like them, espeically leonardo. and i would like to get into the writers head and wonder what they were thinking to make sucha movie. i guess that's how i am, i adore movies like this one for more than the plot, i think about the roles and the people behind the scripts and writing. ...
