"Dr. Zhivago"

The beautiful Keira Knightly stars along with Hans Matheson and Sam Neil in this PBS TV mini-series, now on DVD. I found the story far more absorbing than the David Lean feature film, which I have never gotten real close to despite several viewings (I'm now going to give it another shot). The film makers here overcome the lower budget by periodic skillful use of archival footage of events during the Russian Revolution. The Siberian house here is much more believable than in the feature film, as are all the settings. The overall effect is a more realistic grittiness. This is a top notch production, one not to be missed.
