This film is a wonderful story (don't worry, no spoilers ahead). The images are so powerful, just the way the actors and actresses are filmed is adding to the beauty and shows the wonders as much as it shows the sordidness of life. If you have never seen this movie yet and want to watch it, I have one thing to say, pay attention to the way people and landscapes are filmed.

Just a word about the main character, Ivan: He is great and the rest of the cast, obviously local people, are just unbelievebly perfect and touching.

Some people said this movie's a 'must see', I say their right.

When I first saw Zorba the Greek 4 years ago, I inwardly thanked my philosophy teacher for having us watch this masterpiece. Today, I am still greatful to him. This movie is definetely one of my all time favorite. The whole cast is great, the story is really close from the book (except for some details that an author can write in a book, but a director can't put easily in a film), images are wonderful, Crete is.perfect. If you have never seen this movie, I recommend it to you.
