Synopsis
Director Smaragdis’ biopic reconstructs the life and journeys of the titular author, whose name became synonymous with his rebellious spirit. Based on Kazantzakis’ unfinished autobiographical novel Report to Greco, this Greek-French co-production follows the much-hailed writer's turbulent soul-searching journeys through the places he loved, the personalities he admired, and the ideologies he embraced and was disillusioned by. Nominated several times for the Nobel Literature Prize, he searched all his life for freedom and the meaning of life.
