A man torn between two women amid the chaos and brutality of the Russian
Revolution. One of the world’s most famous love stories and half a century of
Russian history come to life in this adaptation of Pasternak’s masterpiece by
celebrated screenwriter Andrew Davies (Bridget Jones’s Diary, Pride and
Prejudice). War and revolution bring poet and physician Yury Zhivago (Hans
Matheson) together with the beautiful Lara (Keira Knightley), his muse and
all-consuming passion. But both are haunted--Yury by guilt over his betrayal of
Tonya, his beloved wife, and Lara by fear of Komarovsky (Sam Neill), the
powerful man who means to have her any way he can. |
