Revolutionary Road

A terrific and underrated film by director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio giving tour-de-force performances. They play April and Frank Wheeler, the perfect couple admired and adored by their friends and neighbors but have bigger dreams and hopes for their lives. When the chance of breaking free from their mundane world fails, it shutters them and their so called friends. A superb script by Justin Haythe adapted from the classic novel by Richard Yates provides a perfect framework for cast and crew to shine in this timeless classic. The film reunites Winslet and DiCaprio for the first time since "Titanic" and shows how far they have come in their evolution as terrific actors. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
