    Neighbors (1981) is a strange film, like Revolutionary Road as directed by John Waters, & in a different timeline might've ended up with the same cult status as The 'Burbs. Weird seeing some of Letterboxd actually angry that Belushi & Ackroyd both played against type, it's one of the big highlights.

    Chapter 7 Two’s Company No book about the strangeness of the intimacies we're supposed to yearn for could be complete without looking at the most astute musical about them: Stephen Sondheim's Company—which I study, in its various iterations, here alongside Revolutionary Road (book and film).

    He really was perfect casting for his character in Revolutionary Road. Like the character came screaming into life to steal the show in the source material and then Shannon in his small but unforgettable role in the film.

    My first experience scouting for this was on the movie Revolutionary Road, where the two main characters live in a Levittown-like neighborhood. In fact, my first assignment was to scout the very first Levittown on Long Island, built in the late 1940s as the first mass-produced suburban community.

    And I think Leo's third Oscar should have been for another movie he wasn't nominated for: 2008's "Revolutionary Road." Far more worthy than "The Revenant." "RR" should have been the film Winslet finally won for, too, instead of the actual '08 movie she DID win for. Oscar So Stupid.

    Revolutionary Road. There is something about this movie's portrayal of a broken marriage that I find profoundly upsetting. And Talk to Her, arguably the most twisted movie by Almodóvar.

    I remember seeing this in my early 20s and digging it at the time, and now feeling like — performances aside — it's the defintion of "not aged well." (I think it also helped said that film that I had not yet read books like "Revolutionary Road," which helped makes its suburban critique sting more.)

    Yeah same here, though I did like the Reader as well. It just felt uncomfortable to watch personally. So was Revolutionary Road too but still felt more palatable as subject matter, if that makes sense? Definitely a big year for Kate as far as film goes though!

    This might be a dark choice for Valentine's Day, but Revolutionary Road is such a classic film. I love Michael Shannon as a brilliantly brazen truth-teller, and he is this film's glue. That ending is revolting and traumatizing, very reminiscent of The Mist. This film is NOT for the faint of heart.
