Omar Sharif isn’t the only Zhivago. Seen on Masterpiece Theatre in 2002, this sumptuous made-for-TV version of Boris Pasternak’s Nobel-winning novel features younger actors in key roles and stays truer to the book. Hans Mathesen (
The Tudors) is Yury, Keira Knightley (
Pirates of the Caribbean) is Lara, and Sam Neill (
The Tudors) is the villainous Komarovsky. 3 ¾ hrs, 2 DVDs, CC. Mature audiences.
