WATCH: Revolutionary Road

9/21/2008 Posted by Admin


Apparently, their hearts really did go on, because on December 26, Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet will team again, this time in Sam Mendes' "Revolutionary Road."

This is their first pairing since "Titanic," which is just fine since in the 11 years that have passed since that film, each actor has gone on to appear in terrific films. For Winslet, this included such movies as "Little Children" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." For DiCaprio, look no further than "The Departed," "Catch Me if You Can" and "The Aviator."

The film's official synopsis: "April and Frank Wheeler are a young, thriving couple living with their two children in a Connecticut suburb in the mid-1950s. Their self-assured exterior masks a creeping frustration at their inability to feel fulfilled in their relationships or careers. Frank is mired in a well-paying but boring office job, and April is a housewife still mourning the demise of her hoped-for acting career. Determined to identify themselves as superior to the mediocre sprawl of suburbanites who surround them, they decide to move to France where they will be better able to develop their true artistic sensibilities, free of the consumerist demands of capitalist America. As their relationship deteriorates into an endless cycle of squabbling, jealousy and recriminations, their trip and their dreams of self-fulfillment are thrown into jeopardy."

Judging by the trailer, there will be no sinking ships here. See it here:
