Movie Reviews of Zorba the Greek
Movie Review: Let's dance
Summary: 4 Stars
The film of the book is so true to the novel, when I read the novel the characterisation was so real. I love the music and Anthony Quinn certainly deserves his Oscar. This is a 1960's movie, in Black and White, and I think creates the exact atmosphere of the time and place being written about. It is a bit surrealist, because it is unfamiliar, but it is classic, as is the book.Movie Review: Zorba the Greek
Summary: 4 Stars
Well made and excellent cast. I had expected the film to be pure comedy but it had a very dark side which was so well done that it became depressing. It captured the brutal simple-minded villagers so realistically. If one was interested in sociology, this would be the film to watch.
However the principal actors were fabulous and a joy to watch. A well made film!
Movie Review: Really good in its time...
Summary: 4 Stars
If one could find another Anthony Quinn to play the role of Zorba this is a movie that deserves a 21st Century refilming. Unfortunately, Quinn really IS Zorba and it would be hard to create a new identity for Zorba. Quinn actually "channels" Zorba. Too bad the film is so dated!Movie Review: Full Screen Idiocy

Why on earth are they releasing the DVD for this great film in Full Screen. Haven't people gotten used to wide screen yet? I don't want to see 65% of a film when the director meant me to see 100%. The company releasing this needs to have its head examined.Movie Review: Zorba the Greek

This was a good movie. I believe it was differents in that the good guys did not win in this movie.
