Remember how I had this ongoing obsession with Twilight? It's pretty hard to forget (click here, here, here and here if you don't remember).
Now my focus has totally shifted since I read the book-soon-to-be-movie Revolutionary Road.
I think Entertainment Weekly magazine described this movie best by calling it a mix between AMC's Mad Men and American Beauty - and it just so happens that Sam Mendes (director of the latter) is controlling the reins of this fim, reuniting Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio (they were in this little film called Titanic in case you didn't know) starring as volatile suburbanites April and Frank Wheeler.
There is just something about this clean style that plagued this era - I am hypnotized by it. It's so spotless on the outside, yet there's this underbelly of bleak sorrow that makes it so...so... so FABULOUS. As a fan of the pocket squared and cigarette panache of Mad Men, I am looking forward to seeing the cinched suburban waists and 24/7 cocktail hour style of Revolutionary Road.
