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

  • Want To Fall Asleep Or Go Crazy

    Unbelievably boring, you will fall asleep watching this, not entertaining at all. You even feel like you are almost going crazy because it is so poorly written its one of those movies that not only never delivers anything entertaining but the directions it goes are from slow, dry and boring to ridiculous, sad and pathetic. Fortunately it didnt cost much but I am not keeping this in my collection, donating it tomorrow!

  • Entertaining period piece

    It’s my kind of of movie. Love DeCaprio and Shannon! Also love that it takes place in the 50s. It delves into the lives of people in 1950s suburbia. Sometimes, what looks perfect on the surface is anything but when you see what goes on behind closed doors. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  • Good film with thoughtful content. Well acted.

    It clearly showed how people can be different from how they appear and showed what in life is important.

  • Shipper gets 5 stars...but the movie-Noppity

    Revolutionary Road- lame & boring! DiCaprio did a fantastic job but Kate Winslet looked like she was having a hard time- maybe too many takes...her physical actions appears overly rehearsed. Over all story line was dumb. As a married couple with children, oddly the children are always gone somewhere...strange directing/writing...simply off.
