Revolutionary Road - Film Review


 Susan Hopfield

Revolutionary Road is a very interesting story, written by acclaimed author Richard Yates, of frustration in the repetitive cycle of life that we all live in.

The film is directed by Sam Mendes the husband of Kate Winslet who plays April Wheeler, and her on screen husband Frank played by Leonard Dicaprio.

The story settings are in the 1950s, a period in American society of prosperity because after the Second World War America didn't need to rebuild their cities from warfare damage, unlike those countries across Europe and America's closest ally Great Britain.


So, when April chooses to take a big risk of leaving the comforts of Connecticut and uproot to Paris to 'live a little' but can they find happiness or will they destroy their marriage.
