Query: Zorba is absorbing

I cannot imagine Greeks would have been very happy with this portrayal of island life when it was released. But then Cacoyannis was a Cypriot.It is a stretch, but the movie reminds me of Michael Lewis's analysis of the Greek monastery's land speculation in the 2000s and the Greek financial debacle. That wasn't very flattering either.
