Written and set in the 1950s by Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road (2008) is a love story unlike no other. The raw emotions intertwined with the exquisite acting from Academy Award winner and nominated actors Kate Winslet and Leonardo di Caprio makes this film one of the best adapted screenplays of the year. By far the best film of di Caprio’s since What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?(1993), Winslet continues to impress and display her genuine gift of acting. Directed by Winslet’s husband, Sam Mendes, we are taken behind the private walls of a Connecticut family who try to live the life they once desired as a young couple.
