Revolutionary Road
There are some films that paint such a vivid picture of modern life that you are not sure whether to laugh or cry. This is one of them. The most striking thing about it is the way it tracks some of the options available to us in life. It pulls no punches in showing us the possibilities when we acknowledge that the dreams that we lived and longed for are no longer within our reach:
- Anger
- Escape (but whether emotional or geographical it can’t change reality)
- Retreat (into your own world one way or another)
- Death
Not one for a Friday night wind down, but much food for thought.
