Alexis Zorbas (1964)

Second viewing; first viewed on February 25, 1997.

English title: Zorba the Greek

An Englishman is traveling to Crete to take over a mine he has inherited. In the ship he meets a Greek old man who offers him his services.

Lately I don't know how to explain my feelings towards movies. It is certain that I deeply dislike most of them, and yet I enjoy them in a cynical, detached way. This is exactly what happened with this film. I basically despise anything that tells me to "enjoy life to the utmost" or that sort of thing. My response to that is: will I regret it if I don't? When?

Rating: 56 (down from 57)
