Pasternak's Russia via David Lean
Watching Dr. Zhivago (1965)—I most likely have not seen this film for thirty-five years or more.
The distinctive music gets me of course—it played on AM radio when I was a kid (mid- to late-1960s), so that's burned into the brain deeply. But look at just one of the shots David Lean (or perhaps Freddie Young, his Director of Photography) cooked up—really outstanding. The aspect ratio of Panavision matches Lean's penchant for the awe-inspiring, expansive landscape.
Omar Sharif and Julie Christie carry the film. Of course seeing, and listening to, Alec Guinness is always a treat. And, much to my surprise, this film had a small part for Klaus Kinski. [He and Werner Herzog nearly killed each other (literally) during the making of Fitzcarraldo.] In the end, Dr. Zhivago won four Oscars (including Freddie Young for his fine cinematography) and a truck load of Golden Globes.
I used to watch films like this on television while I was in art school back in the early 1980s. My friends and I would stay up, drinking beer, taking in staples such as Casablanca, 12 Angry Men, works by Hitchcock, etc. Prior to the diffusion of content via cable TV (akin to what happened with music with the rise of FM and streaming much later), these works were shown more regularly on network television: a comforting and recurring presence.

Incredible day walking the multiple film sets in this ancient world. The first two photos are the Gladiator arena before and when the set was built. The Kasbah is 1,000 years old+. Berber’s and Jews lived together during this time until 1940. The Jewish existence was then snuffed out by the Nazis in the Holocaust ending this harmonious way of life. FYI - The Holocaust Happened! 😠 #lawrenceofarabia #gladiator #jewelofthenile #towerofbabel #omarsharif #peterotoole #seanconnery #indiephilly #uff #piff #pifffilms #philadelphia #filmfestival #moroccofilm (at Aït Ben Haddou, Ouarzazate, Morocco) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuOHxDDpka/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
