"Revolutionary Road"

—

Ever since it was announced in the spring of 2007 (as I recall), I've been anticipating the film adaptation of Revolutionary Road with a mix of curiosity and dread. It's no secret I've been kind of mixed about the output of the obviously gifted director Sam Mendes. One of my first acts as ...

New Pics from 'Revolutionary Road' and Some Early Reviews Roll In
RopeofSilicon.com — ... movie sweepstakes, “Revolutionary Road” is no “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” But when sheer nastiness seizes its characters, the vindictiveness and emotional damage are breathtaking. Here’s the real difference: In “Virginia Woolf,” George and Martha are locked into a symbiotic, disturbingly needy relationship that absolutely feed off their acidic battles. But for “Revolutionary Road’s” Frank and April Wheeler, you wonder: Why don’t they just get a divorce?

The Siren will 'fess up to that reaction, since Glenn Kenny was already man enough to do the same. Then there was Far From Heaven, a better movie. Todd Haynes showed some Sirk love earlier than that, in the brilliant Safe, but Far from Heaven was an attempt to make a Sirk movie without the Production Code getting in the way, and it turned out worthwhile, if ...
