Revolutionary Road** (15)
Rich Mix Centre, Bethnal Green
In 1950s America, a young couple try to break out of the everyday life that they had once sworn to defy.
Long and talky but well acted, similar in content to American Beauty but done here as grim drama rather than black comedy, re-uniting the stars of Titanic - who still however look as out of place in the 1950s as they did in 1912, something which the film over-compensates for by having them smoke cigarettes in nearly every scene.
d: Sam Mendes
s: Leonardo Di Caprio, Kate Winslet, Kathy Bates, Michael Shannon, Kathryn Hahn, David Harbour, Jay O. Sanders, Zoe Kazan
A decade after Titanic, the lovers from that film finally get to the New World, but a slightly more cynical one.
