*Zorba the Greek* (my mini-review)

/ Art, Film / By Stephen Hicks

I watched Zorba the Greek (1965), which I hadn’t seen since my teen years.

My five-sentence summary:

I’m incompetent and repressed. You’re incompetent and outgoing.
We’re surrounded by viciously ignorant villagers.
But that’s okay! Let’s dance!

Related: 1955 movie Marty.
