...Revolutionary Road, pairing Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in their first cinematic get-together since Titanic. The novel chronicles the painful disintegration of the marriage of Frank and April Wheeler, a seemingly model couple in vapid 1950s suburbia.

It creates a giant triangular canopy that launches itself toward...
