    Unfortunate but then again..
    After having read most of Kazantzaki's books i decided to watch the movie. Even though, i think, they tried their best, it is really hard to portray the depth of the author's book in a 2 hour movie. Therefore it looked really shallow and some of the times it made me cringe. I hope someone could give it a go once more.
