A grand love story that works well as a film.

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 1998)

Unlike some Russian novels, Pasternak's work translates into an excellent film. The true essence of the story is captured, and the use of authentic scenery draws the moviegoer into this sweeping epic. Only Pasternak could push the Russian Revolution into a background role, and this comes through beautifully in the film. Bravo!
