One of the greatest films of all time, a winner of five Academy Awards, this
sweeping epic adapted from 1957 novel by
Boris Pasternak, follows Russian doctor and poet, Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif), who falls in love with
the beautiful Lara (Julie Christie),
though the pair are kept apart by the forces of history. Set against Russia's
turbulent political changes of World War I, the Bolshevik Revolution, and
Communism's rise to power; Yuri spends the rest of his life searching for his
lost love. (Italy/UK/US, 1965, 197min.,
