Another clip from Zorba
March 19, 2008 by Ray
This is another clip from Zorba, the film starring Anthony Quinn and Alan Bates, where Zorba dances until he is exhausted. In this clip we see the real attempt to display the exuberance of Cretans.
Thanks for all your responses on the last clip. This clip tells more of the story.
Great film and thanks for the clips. But surely, Ray, rather than showing the “exuberance of Cretans”, Zorba is demonstrating how the only way he has been able to express his emotions - whether when he is happy or when he is very sad (when he lost his son) - is through dancing.
