If You Like Revolutionary Road KEYWORDS: revolutionary road, kate winslet, leonardo dicaprio, sam mendes, mad men, richard yates, blake bailey

Click here to watch the trailer for Revolutionary Road, a romantic drama coming soon to theatres, directed by Sam Mendes and featuring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Based on the critically acclaimed novel by Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road tells the story of a young, successful couple living what appears to be a thriving life with their two children in 1950's Connecticut. But the mendacity of their suburban living sends them to France-and their relationship into a tailspin.

Yates novel has also been cited as a primary influence on AMC's Mad Men, set in early 1960's New York City.
