The Ludic Reader 
My vote is for the admittedly sentimental DOCTOR ZHIVAGO — if for no other reason to suspend disbelief and enjoy the good doctor’s choices in women. Lara deserves more than a theme, I’ll tell you. I’d call Julie Christie “comrade” any day of the week.
Droctor Zhivago is one of my favourite movies – but I have never read the book. I always loved that scene where the palace (or whatever it was) was covered in ice. And I think this movie is one of the reasons I have the whole kink for star-crossed, angsty love affairs.
