It's been a long time since we last saw Kate
Winslet and Leonardo
DiCaprio embrace each other on the front of a boat and procliam they
were "The Kings of the World". Titanic,
of course, went onto break all kinds of records - and only recently has
been challenged by The Dark Knight
for worldwide Box Office takings.
So
it's only fitting that the pair team up once again - perhaps to reclaim
their box office title as the highest grossing on-screen couple in
history.
The film follows April and Frank Wheeler - a young,
thriving couple living with their two children in a Connecticut suburb
in the mid-1950s. Their self-assured exterior masks a creeping
frustration at their inability to feel fulfilled in their relationships
or careers.
Frank is mired in a well-paying but boring office
job, and April is a housewife still mourning the demise of her
hoped-for acting career.
Determined to identify themselves as
superior to the mediocre sprawl of suburbanites who surround them, they
decide to move to France where they will be better able to develop
their true artistic sensibilities, free of the consumerist demands of
capitalist America.
As their relationship deteriorates into an
endless cycle of squabbling, jealousy and recriminations, their trip
and their dreams of self-fulfillment are thrown into jeopardy.
This one looks like it could be good - and yet another hit for DiCaprio
after Body of Lies.
