A man needs a little madness, or else

"A man needs a little madness, or else he never dares cut the rope, and be free." This movie has a very fitting title, because it begins and ends with Anthony Quinn's main character. Attracting massive acclaim upon release and still considered among the actor's most significant performances, Zorba (the character) comes to life as an individual filled with a hearty love of life, making grand plans that ultimately fail or never live up to expectations before reinvigorating himself with more loud talk, drinking, dancing, and once again making plans. He's displayed as not entirely a virtuous figure, being often unreliable or untrustworthy in his ultimate pursuit of a well-lived life, but with a core of infectious vitality that ultimately sees him through virtually all hardships, totally immune to the reality around him. Quinn really eats up the role, throwing plenty of energy into his performance and demanding the audience's attention whenever he appears. The rest of the film is really just set dressing for Zorba, including Alan Bates as Basil, Zorba's uptight supposed behavioral foil that never offers any real contrast. There are subplots in the village (in particular a widow that falls for Basil and is ultimately murdered when she does not accept a local boy as her husband before he kills himself) that don't really feel particularly thematically hefty or relevant, they just offer a glimpse into a natural brutality and coldness that supposedly substantiates Zorba's boisterous way of life by contrast, but it doesn't really hold up to scrutiny. You don't have to be either a happy-go-lucky layabout or a cruel traditionalist. There is a happy medium that the film overlooks. Worth a watch for Quinn alone, but also a surprisingly cutting scene where a woman finds her house being looted down to the shutters at the moment of her death. (3.5/5)
