July 18, 2009A much darker film than I expected it to be. Anthony Quinn's energetic and charismatic Zorba seems almost out of place amidst a cast of cowardly, vengeful, parasitic villagers who always seem to linger ominously in the background. Ultimately, Zorba the Greek is an uplift...( read more)

April 23, 2006When Zorba's son dies, everyone else cries. Zorba? He dances. If Quinn had only done one film, this film, his contribution to the history of movies would have been enormous and his place in that history assured. Life, death, comedy, tragedy, love, hate, nastiness, compassion ...( read more)

June 17, 2009Great Music. Beginning and ending were great; the middle was unnecessary. If you are going to visit greek villages, do not watch this movie.

August 5, 2008Una de la mejores peliculas que he visto. Grandes interpretaciones para una historia minima, intima y fenomenal a la vez...Anthony Quinn esta soberbio y se gano un lugar eterno en mi mente al saber interpretar a un personaje tan autentico y entraņable, que parece tomar por las astas la vida. La contraparte la da la flema del personaje de Alan Bates, el hombre de letras, cerrado y dubitativo...Creo que el final es soberbio, el escritor y su asalariado/ingeniero/loco y amigo han perdido todo por lo que habian trabajado e invertido y acaban riendo y bailando...Gran Movie.
