En la isla griega de Creta, Basil, un tímido e inhibido escritor, traba amistad con Zorba, un extrovertido campesino con un enorme amor por la vida. Cuando Zorba acepta el trabajo que Basil le ofrece en su mina abandonada, el joven Basil inicia un camino de aprendizaje, pasando a ser de un mero observador de la vida a tomar parte de ella.

(más)Reseñas (2)
Drama that is not for me. The perpetually playful and melancholically smiling moods occasionally become annoying and only two main characters enlighten them. After just a few minutes together, they can already seem like old friends in a minimal space. However, against the slightly problematic warmth, the second half is full of existential heaviness and dealing with a Cretan mentality, which is much worse and comes unexpectedly and unpleasantly loud. An unbalanced and worn-out classic, to which Quinn and Bates unfortunately earned a third star.

Of course, the star of this movie is Anthony Quinn, who not only portrayed a great character but mainly a personality that I personally find annoying, but you understand why he behaves the way he does, you understand that if he plays something, he plays it so well that he lives it. Absurd, but absurdly beautiful story.
