Zorba the Greek
Cette égérie et tragédienne du cinéma grec et européen a marqué de sa présence plusieurs films remarquables réalisés par les Cacoyannis, Costa-Gavras ou plus tardivement de Olivieira. Nous montrons son film le plus culte, Zorba le Grec, étonnamment peu montré en nos murs.
Basil, a young British writer, returns to Crete to take possession of his father's estate. He meets Zorba, an exuberant Greek who insists on being his guide. The two men are different in every way: Zorba likes to drink, laugh, sing and dance, he lives as he pleases while Basil remains entangled in his good education. However, they become friends and join forces to exploit a mine.
