Sunday, September 14, 2008 at 11:35AM First Look at Kate and Leo in 'Revolutionary Road'
One of the last potential Oscar nominees to hit
theaters,
Revolutionary Road stars the
Titanic tandem of
Leonardo
DiCaprio and
Kate Winslet. The film, based on a novel by
Richard Yates,
is directed by
Sam Mendes (American Beauty, The Road
to Perdition).
The title belies the subject matter; this is actually a
relationship drama, and I guess you could say it's kind of an American Beauty
of the 1950s. It's about a married couple that feels constricted by their
pursuit of the American dream, with DiCaprio bored at his job and Winslet
resentful that she gave up a chance at an acting career to stay at home. They
bicker and their relationship crumbles.
Entertainment Tonight got a first look at some
scenes from Revolutionary Road, which they've compiled into a kind of
video synopsis. It's narrated by Mary Hart, for which I apologize.

Jack and Rose, together again, in theaters on December 26th.
