One of the Greatest Cinematic Works

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2001)

This movie has it all.
The plot plays out on the backdrop of the Russian revolution, a fascinating event in world history. The contrast in the life of Yuri (Omar Sharif) before and after the revolution is profound. The love story between Yuri and Lara is the central plot. It is deeply romantic and evolves in an entirely believable way.
The art of this film is wonderful. The cinematography is some of the best I have ever seen and is worthy of the Oscar it received.
The acting is great.
