If you loved Great Expectations, try Doctor Zhivago

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by David Lean, and they both carry the cozy, cult, devastating mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Great Expectations, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Doctor Zhivago is

Moscow, winter, a balalaika plays. A physician's life unravels, two women, war looming. David Lean frames the Russian Revolution through a poet's eyes.
