Revolutionary Road marks the long-awaited reunion of Titanic stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio (also Kathy Bates), but is more often compared to an American Beauty 2 rather than a Titanic 2, which is logical since American Beauty director Sam Mendes, also Kate Winslet’s husband, directed the film.
Based on a novel by Richard Yates (The Bridge At Remagen), adapted by Justin Haythe (The Clearing), the film is set in Connectitut in the fifties and tells of a marriage’s breakdown. I must say I’m quite impressed, but then this is a Sam Mendes film so what do you expect? Revolutionary Road will premiere in the US on December 26th.
