Richard Yates in ünlü romanından uyarlanan Hayallerin Peşinde, Frank ve April Wheeler in gözünden bir evliliğin öyküsü. 1950 lerde, New York yakınlarında bir banliyöde geçen film o dönemden beri günümüzde de bizi meşgul eden bir soruyu merkezine alıyor: İki insanın birbirlerini harcamadan sıradan olanın, yani sistemin, dışına çıkmaları mümkün müdür Genç, güzel, birbirine aşık olan Frank ve April kendilerini hep diğer insanlardan farklı görmüşlerdi özel olduklarına ve hayatlarına kendi idealleri doğrultusunda yön vereceklerine inanıyorlardı.
Adapted from the landmark novel by Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road is an incisive portrait of an American marriage, seen through the eyes of Frank and April Wheeler. Based in the 1950s, the film asks a question that has been reverberating through modern relationships ever since: can two people break away from the ordinary, the system, without breaking apart Young, good-looking and in love, Frank and April have always seen themselves as special, different, ready and willing to live their lives based on higher ideals. As soon they move into their new house on Revolutionary Road, in a Connecticut suburb, they proudly declare their independence from the suburban inertia that surrounds them. They will never be trapped in the social confines of their area, they proclaim. In fact, they will move to Paris, and lead free-wheeling artistic lives there! Yet very soon, the Wheelers find themselves becoming exactly what they didn t expect: a good man with a routine job whose nerve has gone missing and a less-then-happy homemaker starving for passion living in a perfectly decorated suburban home with no soul. Featuring superior performances by Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in the leads, Revolutionary Road paints a finely observed, deeply moving portrait of a well-intentioned dream gone slowly wrong.
