Another Hollywood love story ‘Revolutionary Road’

Revolutionary Road is a love story based drama film directed by Sam Mendes. The screenplay by Justin Haythe is based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Richard Yates. The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on December 26, 2008.
This is the first movie since Titanic that Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have starred in together. It also includes their Titanic costar Kathy Bates.
Revolutionary Road: Plot Line
The story of a young couple trying to find fulfillment in an age of conformity. Trapped in a world of encoded convention, they dream without faith, as lies and self-deceptions build to explosive consequences.
Brief Story
Set in 1955, the plot focuses on the hopes and aspirations of Frank and April Wheeler, self-assured Connecticut suburbanites who see themselves as very different from their neighbors in the Revolutionary Hill Estates.
April is an aspiring actress who yearns to move to Paris, while Frank copes with toiling away at a corporate job he despises by drinking too heavily and engaging in an affair with a co-worker.
The couple's marriage slowly dissolves into an endless cycle of bitter arguments and jealous recriminations.
