Synopsis
Revolutionary Road (2008) — watch online on iFILM: a drama directed by Sam Mendes, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, based on Richard Yates's celebrated novel of the same name.
Frank and April Wheeler have the Connecticut suburb house, the kids, the respectable jobs. April is convinced none of it is their real life — Paris, she insists, is where they belong. Frank agrees, then stalls, then invents reasons to stay. What opens between them is not just a fight about geography; it's a reckoning with who each of them actually is. Michael Shannon plays the neighbour's son who says out loud every uncomfortable thing the Wheelers have learned to swallow.
Mendes frames the 1950s not as nostalgia but as a slow suffocation. Winslet won the Golden Globe for her performance here — her first screen pairing with DiCaprio since Titanic, and nothing like it. Stream Revolutionary Road (2008) in full on iFILM.
