A brilliant movie from a brilliant novel

Rating: 9/10 (16 August 1998)

Doctor Zhivago is one of the century's greatest movies and novels. In the novel, Pasternak captures the Russian soul in a simple and unostentatious manner. David Lean goes further and makes a film that is moving and unforgettable in every respect- the acting, the camera shots, the scenery ,the score (wonderfully done by Maurice Jarre), the script. It is a must-see movie for everyone.
