Doctor Zhivago Reviews

Impresionante filme que trata con exactitud y pulcritud las penurias de la sociedad rusa durante la etapa soviética, la interpretación de Omar Sharif junto a su amante, que cobra vida gracias a Julie Christie simplemente es magnifica.

ice house scene is so pretty

Woah holy moly what a cinematic ride, the cast, the characters, the impressive 60’s cinematography. All genius! Wish I had read the book but this was a treat.

Un clásico

Not a fan of films that focus prominently on infidelity or morally depraved people (and nothing is sympathetic for these characters). But it's well-made, I'm sure, with lavish production and sweeping historical setting. Most interesting scene is that of Yuri/Pasha on the train.

7/10

Timeless classic. They don’t make movies like this anymore

Doesn’t compare to Lean’s other greats (Kwai & Arabia), it is still solid. Can’t say I loved it particularly but it’s far from bad. I found it to be overlong & felt the runtime by the end. A film I will probably have to revisit one day but for now it’s not high in my ratings

7/10 excellent cinematography

Not without its conflict. But so downtrodden. Only like Lara and Tonya. Even Zhivago becomes hard to side with. Just grueling.

While not quite as good as Lawrence of Arabia or Bridge on The River Kwai, Zhivago is yet another stroke of brilliance from David Lean. The vistas are breathtaking and the story is excellently acted by Sherif who’s never had a better role. 8/10
