Doctor Zhivago, Boris Pasternak, David Lean, poetryAbstract
The film adaptation of Doctor Zhivago was forced to respect the poet's status, very relevant in the novel, of the protagonist. However, the digressions on poetry had to be suppressed in order not to weigh down the rhythm of the story, so director David Lean makes some allusions to the poetic based on the symbolic power of the image to suggest that Zhivago's status as a poet has a real weight.
