Revolutionary Road on DVD
Cited As One of the Top Ten Movies of the Year By Dozens of Critics, Captivating Drama Debuts on DVD and Blu-ray June 2, 2009
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are brilliant” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) in the mesmerizing epic Revolutionary Road
I was absolutely impressed with this movie. I watched alone while the kids were at Grandmas. It was nice to relax and watch a movie I wanted to see. Both Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were amazing in this movie. Of course I thought about their last movie together Titanic and they were amazing together then too. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet work so well together and their acting makes you feel like you are right there with them and that it was “real life”.
Nominated for three Academy Awards® and four Golden Globes®, the emotionally gripping film has been called “amazing” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), “flawless” (Rex Reed, New York Observer) and a “masterpiece” (Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle). Directed by Oscar® winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty) and adapted from the groundbreaking novel by Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road won Kate Winslet her first Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama. Reuniting DiCaprio and Winslet for the first time on screen since Titanic, the incisive portrait of a 1950s American marriage unfolds as an enthralling drama that is moving, thought-provoking and “a revelation” (Clay Smith, “The Insider”).
The Revolutionary Road DVD and Blu-ray presentations include commentary by director Sam Mendes and screenwriter Justin Haythe, Lives of Quiet Desperation: The Making of REVOLUTIONARY ROAD and deleted scenes. The Blu-ray also includes Richard Yates: The Wages of Truth.
