 The Russian Revolution,
seen from the point of view of the intellectual, introspective
Dr. Zhivago. As the political landscape changes, and the Czarist
regime comes to an end, Zhivago's relationships reflect the political
turmoil raging about him. Though he is married, the vagaries
of war lead him to begin a love affair with the beautiful Lara
(Julie Christie). But he cannot escape the machinations of a
band of selfish and cruel characters: General Streinikoff, a
Bolshevik General; Komarovsky (Rod Steiger), Lara's former lover;
and Yevgraf (Alec Guinness), Zhivago's sinister half-brother.
This epic, sweeping romance, told in flashback, captures the
lushness of Moscow before the war and the violent social upheaval
that followed. Based on the 1957 novel by Boris Pasternak. Academy
Award Nominations: 10, including Best Picture, Best Director,
Best Film Editing. Academy Awards: 5, including Best (Adapted)
Screenplay, Best (Color) Cinematography, Best (Color) Art Direction-Set
Decoration, Best (Original) Score.
