Review of Doctor Zhivago (1965) by Matt M — 30 Jan 2013
David Lean's epic and spectacular exploration of romance against the background of the Russian revolution is based on the groundbreaking novel by Pastarnak, a notorious literary work that was controversially censored in Soviet Russia.
A happily married doctor falls in love with a woman who had first hand experiences with the revolution.This cinematic rendition of Doctor Zhivago doesn't spare the juxtaposition of the lushness and the violence, the glamour and the despair of the time and circumstances surrounding the Russian revolution.
It is a masterwork of cinematography and art direction. The star studded and talented cast adds value to this majestic production.
