The Two Popes (2019)
Behind Vatican walls, the conservative Pope Benedict and the liberal future Pope Francis must find common ground to forge a new path for the Catholic Church.
An imagined look at the two popes' relationship has some fascinating moments in the dialogues and is at times not without humor, but avoids - though skillfully - the more questionable aspects of the Catholic Church; a great showcase for the two leads' talents.
Doctor Zhivago (2002)
Young and beautiful Lara is loved by three men: a revolutionary, a mogul, and a doctor. Their lives become intertwined with the drama of Russian revolution.
TV adaptation with high production value and capable cast is long-drawn-out and not really an improvement to David Lean's version.
On rewatching: My first impression was correct; nice to watch, if you have the time.
