Period-piece machine David Lean directed Doctor Zhivago, the 1965 classic adaptation of Boris Pasternak's sprawling Russian saga. The epic portrays the fierce love between a sensitive poet/surgeon, Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif), and a dressmaker's daughter, Lara (Julie Christie), whose affair is curtailed by the (decidedly picturesque) Russian revolution. As hard-to-pronounce characters careen across the screen and subplots are interwoven, the episodic narrative develops as an elegant train ride through a rough, romantic personal and national history.
