Zorba the Greek is a fascinating blend of drama and character study, with a rich atmosphere that really captures the essence of Cretan life. The pacing is laid-back yet engaging, allowing you to soak in the landscape and the evolving relationship between the uptight writer and the free-spirited Zorba. Anthony Quinn delivers a performance that's larger than life, his charisma practically radiates off the screen. Plus, the cinematography captures both the stark beauty and the rough edges of Crete in a way that feels authentic. The themes of freedom, love, and the struggle against societal norms are woven in beautifully, making it more than just a simple tale of friendship.
Directed by Mihalis Kakogiannis · Features Anthony Quinn and Alan Bates · Cinematography by Walter Lassally · Adapted from Nikos Kazantzakis' novel
