If you are restless and you like travelling the world….if you never seem to find the right place…then this movie by Sam Mendes might just be what the doctor ordered. With almost 2 years delay the movie is coming to Italy. A movie you could place somewhere between the aesthetic of indie movies and the big Hollywood productions.
It is pretty hard to forget American Beauty and all the awards this movie won then. Not only for Mendes as the director but also Alan Ball, the talented script writer. But life and the filmography of this brilliant director continue. Movies like Revolutionary Road, another of his celebrated movies starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio or Jarhead and Road to Perdition. This time around he went without big internationally known actors: John Krasinksi and Maya Rudolph.
If American Beauty was side blow against suburban America and the bourgeoisie and Revolutionary Road about the youth that sooner or later ends in a bourgeois life then Away We Go is again about the problems between the generations but this time from a modern point of view. From the eyes of a couple that is looking for a place to settle down. The viewer accompanies them on their journey discovering the most incredible places in the US.
