Zorba The Greek(1964) DvdRo Ntsc-NiO torrent download






                                       Alexis Zorbas (1964) 


                                     aka Zorba The Greek














Nikos Kazantzakis' novels lend themselves to cinematic treatment. Jules Dassin made a great 


adaptation of "He Who Must Die", and Michael Cacoyannis was equally successful in bringing 


"Alexis Zorbas" to the screen. Watching this film for a second time puts into perspective a


 lot of things that escape many a viewer the first time around.





Michael Cacoyannis changed the order of events in the book, as well as Nikos, who he transforms


 into Basil, the Englishman. The changes are not without merit since all the elements 


contribute to blend well together in the finished product. The director was fortunate 


to find such collaborators as Mikis Theodorakis, the genial composer of the music score 


and Walter Lassally, who photographed the barren area where most of the action takes 


place. Viewing the film on cable recently, shows Lassally's crisp black and white


 photography in mint condition.





The film is totally dominated by Zorba, who is a figure larger than life, as he takes 


Basil under his wing from the start. Anthony Quinn was a perfect choice for playing 


the title character. Mr. Quinn had worked with other brilliant directors, Federico


Fellini, being one of them. It's almost impossible to think of Mr. Quinn as being 


an American because the magnificent transformation he undergoes here to portray Zorba.





Alan Bates, who is seen as Basil, the Englishman of Greek descent, who is going to Crete 


to see the family's land and mine. By underplaying Basil, Mr. Bates set the right tone, in 


sharp contrast with Anthony Quinn's exuberance. Alan Bates, in the end, made perfect sense


 with the way he played Basil.





Lila Kedrova is another surprise in the film. She is the tragic Madame Hortense, who has 


lived in the island for quite a while. It's ironic that love always eluded her until she


 finds in Zorba a reason for keep on living. Irene Papas is equally intense as the widow 


who is haunted by all the men in town. She has little to say, but just a look from her


smolders the screen, be it, for the lust she felt for Basil, or the hatred for the town 


male population.





Michael Cacoyannis uses these men, as a sort of Greek Chorus, so important in Greek 


tragedies. The same could be said of the older women of the town who resent the arrivals 


of strangers. The Greek cast one sees is quite effective in the context of the movie.





"Alexis Zorbas", or "Zorba, the Greek", is a film that will stay with the viewer for 


quite a while because of what the director accomplished with it. 








 











 Capodopera a celei de a saptea arte ,filmul Alexis Zorbas(Zorba The Greek) este 


ecranizarea romanului cu acelasi nume a lui Nikos Kazantzakis.Regizorul Mihalis Kakogiannis 


a fost norcos  sa gasesca colaboratori ca Mikis Theodorakis(genialul compozitor al


 coloanei sonore) si Walter Lassally(care a filmat tot tinutul saracacios unde


are loc cea mai mare parte a actiunii).


  Filmul este dominat in totalitate de catre Zorba,pentru care Antony Quinn pare sa fi fost


alegerea perfecta.Acesta pare a fi cel mai bun rol interpretat de Antony Quinn vreodata.


  Exuberanta lui Zorba,capacitatea caracterului de a vedea numai partea senina a vietii


si de a transfera atitudinea sa optimista si celor din jur ,combinate cu metafora dansului pe 


plaja pustie fac din acest film o capodopera.Deasemenea actori ca Irene Papas si Alan Bates


isi joaca rolurile cu  profesionalism ,interpretand caractere puternice cu mare autenticitate.
