Résumés(1)
Basil, un jeune écrivain britannique, retourne en Crète pour prendre possession de l'héritage paternel. Il rencontre Zorba, un Grec exubérant qui insiste pour lui servir de guide. Les deux hommes sont différents en tous points : Zorba aime boire, rire, chanter et danser, il vit à sa guise alors que Basil reste empêtré dans sa bonne éducation. Ils deviennent cependant amis et s'associent pour exploiter une mine. (Solaris Distribution)

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.
