Review of Zorba the Greek (1964) by Jay F — 08 Jun 2006
Few films today are willing to breathe like this one does on island of Crete; few films today understand how to blend great heart with glories and terror of life. Zorba lives with his guts and his nose.
Basil "Boss" filters his life through his intellectualism, afraid to let his soul dance. Influence of the two upon each other illustrates so much about human condition in ways both inspiring and sometimes unbearable.
Truly one of best blends of direction, screen writing, acting, and photography.
