Zorba ranks in my lifetime top 10. Fabulous that it is finally available on DVD for new generations. Few films today are willing to breathe like this one does on the island of Crete; few films today understand how to blend great heart with the glories and terrors of life.
Zorba lives with his guts and his nose. Basil "Boss" filters his life through his intellectualism, afraid to let his soul dance.
The influence of the two upon each other illustrates so much about the human condition in ways both inspiring and sometimes unbearable.
Truly one of the best blends of direction, screen writing, acting, and photography I have ever seen.
