Have not read the book but the movie was great. One of the best ever.
It certainly was one of the best. Loved it.
The book was like 600 pages long. Russkies did not believe in word count.
Did Lara use men?
One of my favorite movies! Some day I’ll read the book although after Brothers K I’m still recovering from Russian literature. That was a slog!
I’ve not seen the movie...suppose it’s online?
I am not sure but I ordered it on DVD several years ago for not much.
Found Prime has it for 2.99 rental
It's available on streaming services. Do yourself a favor and get the remastered Bluray. The cinematography is fantastic.
It was my mothers favorite movie. The music alone makes it worth watching.
My all time favorite movie. First saw it in 1965 in the very first row of the theater. Came away freezing cold between air conditioning and all of the snowy scenes. Seven years later I took a Russian history class in college from a Russian emigre. As we progressed through the class he would often point out members of his family he was related to. One of the most interesting people I’ve ever met.
Thank you...I’ll look for it...does that mean I have to stream it?
Not sure ...there’s some on Amazon that say remastered...I want to get the right one...suggestions?
The DVD I have is sharp but I would like to see it in Blu-Ray. Mine has a lot of extras including interviews with the stars etc.
You too? I have seen it so many times I have it memorized word for word, all 3:17 of it. I find in that film a precedent for all of the socio-political byplay that's transpired since. It is a masterpiece, one of a kind.
The Hollywood studio version is indeed magnificent but is nothing when compared to the little known Grenada version which was made to more faithfully follow the Pasternak vision and meaning.
