Kate and Leo are finally back together again in this beautifully acted dissection of a troubled marriage in suburban Revolutionary Road where happy faces are put on lives of quiet desperation. April hates their stultifying life and dreams of reclaiming their lives (and love) as free spirits by moving to Paris. However, their incredulous neighbours react to their getaway plan as a threat to world order. Will they break away or break apart? A fantastic film about ageing and the death of dreams, DiCaprio and Winslet are both absolutely compelling as a young couple struggling with their conflicting desires for material success, personal fulfillment and the rewards of raising a family.
