Commentariat

It is possible,” says a character in the new film Revolutionary Road, “that Parisians are not the only people capable of leading interesting lives.” It is one of the few laughs in the film. I suspect it will be even more of a laugh in France, whence I write, and where I notice the title is rendered as Les Noces Rebelles (the rebel couple). I suppose there are so many Rues de la Révolution here that the original title would feel a bit banal.
