Ouzo Talk - Zorba the Greek - manuscript, movie & music

Ouzo Talk

“Teach me to dance!” Professor Vrasidas Karalis of Sydney University, and renowned conductor/composer, George Ellis join the boys in the Distillery for a drink and a chat about one of – if not the most – iconic modern Greek texts, “Zorba the Greek”. From the original book by Nikos Kazantzakis, to the 1964 film starring Anthony Quinn, Alana Bates and Irene Pappas, to the incredible music of Mikis Theodorakis, Zorba has become a part of Greek culture and for many non-Greeks, was their introduction to Greece. Professor Karalis and Ellis provide insightful commentary, informed by having met key members of the cast and crew of the film, resulting in one of the more incredible and in-depth Ouzo Talk discussions.
