Dr. Zhivago (aka Doctor Zhivago) (Omar Shariff, Julie Christie) (Blu Ray)

Description

David Lean demonstrates again why hes a peerless filmmaker of substance and scale, directing Boris Pasternaks tumultuous tale of Russia divided by war and hearts torn by love. Epic images abound: revolution in the streets, an infantry charge into No Mans Land, the train ride to the Urals, an icebound dacha. Golden Globe Best Actor Award winner Omar Sharif plays the title role, in love with Lara ( Julie Christie, the National Board of Reviews Best Actress choice) and caught up in the tidal wave of history. Hauntingly scored by Maurice Jarre (who earned one of the films five Academy Awards*) and full of indelible performances, Doctor Zhivago (an American Film Institute Top-100 American Films selection) is a moviemaking wonder.
