Review

Doctor Zhivago is the story of a doctor in revolutionary Russia who struggles between his duties to his wife and his love for his mistress.

Doctor Zhivago has a spectacular reputation in the world of film, and it is well deserved. This epic film is a perfect example of what happens when every aspect of a film project reaches its full potential.

Doctor Zhivago has exceptionally well-developed characters. Their stories are engaging, and excellent performances from the actors bring the characters to life.

The dialog is inspiring, elegant, and provides a heightened reality that adds to the film’s gracefulness.

The plot is suspenseful and captivating. Key twists and revelations are well-timed to hold the interest of the audience.

The powerful and emotional score evokes the great composers of Russia and is regarded by many as one of the greatest scores of all time. After decades, the score’s best know piece, "Lara’s Theme," is still highly recognizable.

The awesome cinematography captures some of the most beautiful and striking images in the history of film.

Every thing worked on this film, and it is nearly perfect. Doctor Zhivago is the greatest film ever made, and any lover of fine films should see Doctor Zhivago at least once.
