Doctor Zhivago Summary David Lean's Doctor Zhivago Is An Exploration Of The Russian Revolution As Seen From The Point Of View Of The Intellectual, Introspective Title Character (omar Sharif). As The Political Landscape Changes, And The Czarist Regime Comes To An End, Dr. Zhivago's Relationships Reflect The Political Turmoil Raging About Him. Though He Is Married, The Vagaries Of War Lead Him To Begin A Love Affair With The Beautiful Lara (julie Christie). But He Cannot Escape The Machinations Of A Band Of Selfish And Cruel Characters: General Strelnikov (tom Courtenay), A Bolshevik General; Komarovsky (rod Steiger), Lara's Former Lover; And Yevgraf (alec Guinness), Zhivago's Sinister Half-brother. This Epic, Sweeping Romance, Told In Flashback, Captures The Lushness Of Moscow Before The War And The Violent Social Upheaval That Followed. The Film Is Based On The Pulitzer Prize-winning Novel By Boris Pasternak.

David Lean focused all his talent as an epic-maker on Boris Pasternak's sweeping novel about a doctor-poet in revolutionary Russia. The results may sometimes veer toward soap opera, especially with the screen frequently filled with adoring close-ups of Omar Sharif and Julie Christie, but Lean's gift for cramming the screen with spectacle is not to be denied. The streets of Moscow, the snowy steppes of Russia, the house in the country taken over by ice; these are re-created with Lean's unerring sense of grandness. The movie is so lush and so long that it becomes an irresistible wallow, even when logic suffers--like Gone with the Wind before it and Titanic after. Sharif, who achieved stardom in Lean's previous film, Lawrence of Arabia, mostly looks noble, but the supporting cast is spiky: Rod Steiger as a fat-cat monster, Tom Courtenay as a self-righteous revolutionary, and Klaus Kinski and Alec Guinness in smaller roles. Geraldine Chaplin, in her adult debut, plays the doctor's compliant wife. Robert Bolt's screenplay won one of the film's five Oscars, with another going to perhaps the most immediately recognizable element of the movie: Maurice Jarre's romantic music, with its hugely popular "Lara's Theme" weaving in and out of a swooning score. --Robert Horton
