With someone who has such a terrible attention span, sometimes tackling a movie that is an epic romance and drama is not something I should choose to do. This movie though for the romantic at heart knows how to pull at you, and even in a recent Entertainment Weekly was listed as the romance of it's era in the 60's, falling into the same list with Titanic that made the romance of it's era in the 90's. For me though there was something very intense and over dramatic that kept me from really getting into the characters though.
Summary: Yuri is a poet, but while he struggles with his writings he finds himself being a doctor. In this three hour epic though his life changes drastically for a man who married a woman, and started a family, and expected to hope to settle down normally, after he meets the wife of a political activist that he falls for. He now is tempted to pursue her especially as the revolution draws them closer together. For Yuri though a lot is at risk as he gets closer to Lara.
