More on Doctor Zhivago
Description from Wikipedia:
Doctor Zhivago (Russian: Доктор Живаго) is a 1965 drama-romance-war film directed by David Lean and loosely based on the famous novel of the same name by Boris Pasternak. ==Plot==
The film takes place for the most part during the tumultuous period of 1905-1921, the years of Bloody Sunday and the 1905 Revolution, World War I, the Russian Revolution, and Russian Civil War, as the regime of Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown and the Soviet Union established. A framing device, from which the film is narrated, takes place in the mid-to-late 1950s, though a specific date is not mentioned.
The film's framing device involves Police General Yevgraf Zhivago (Alec Guinness) searching for the love child of his brother, poet and doctor Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif), and his mistress Larissa ("Lara") Antipova (Julie Christie); Yevgraf believes a young woman named Tonya Komarovskya (Rita Tushingham) working on a dam project, (referred to as "The Girl" in the credits) may be his niece. Yevgraf narrates the story for her, periodically appearing in it, though rarely interacts with any other characters in the flashbacks.
Lara is friends to Pasha Antipov (Tom Courtenay), an idealistic young man, who is wounded by a saber-wielding Cossack during a peaceful protest, leaving a conspicuous scar across his cheek which would mark him for life. Pasha allowed the wound to scar, partly out of machismo and partly because his low social status does not entitle him to medical attention. That same evening, Komarovsky had taken Lara to a posh restaurant (in lieu of her mother, who is ill) and then seduced her.
