Doctor Zhivago (2003, DVD)

Movie Description
Boris Pasternak's epic tale of star-crossed love during the Russian Revolution is remade for the television screen in this British miniseries, the first film adaptation of DOCTOR ZHIVAGO since David Lean's legendary 1965 feature. This version casts Hans Matheson (THE MISTS OF AVALON) as the title character, a doctor and poet torn between the love of his faithful wife Tonya (Alexandra Maria Lara) and the passion of his muse and mistress Lara (Keira Knightley, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM), herself the wife of a political revolutionary. Their love affair plays out against the wars and upheavals of czarist Russia until they--and the nation--are finally and irreparably altered by the advent of the Russian Revolution. This retelling of the literary classic is scripted by celebrated screenwriter Andrew Davies (BRIDGET JONES' DIARY) and features Sam Neill in a chilling performance as Lara's villainous tormentor Komarovsky.

      One of The Great

    I loved the original, and this is more than just a rehashing. Many more elements of the story are included, helping a very complex story to make sense. It's very long, yet the length is necessary to due justice to the epic storyline. The agony of a Russia in revolution is brought to a fine point in this retelling. A beautiful movie about a man caught between wonderful women during a horrifying time.
