a screen epic

The greatest screen epic (and love story) ever produced, it’s a pretty accurate adaptation of Boris Pasternak’s novel which chronicles the discontents of early 20th-century Russian society.

This film has riveting action, and most importantly depicts one of the most important historical events: the disastrous effects of World War I on the country, the revolution that destroyed the old order, the political turmoil and insecurity.

Well-known actors like Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Geraldine Chaplin, Alec Guinness and Klaus Kinsky deliver amazing performances.
