A great masterpiece of the Greek writer NIKOS KAZANTZAKIS (whose body of work combines Camus, Dostoievski, Tolstoi, Nietzsche and Bergson) becomes transformed in the wide screen into A HYMN FOR GREEK FREEDOM and Independence.
A movie forbidden by the Catholic and the Greek Orthodox Church since it is based on Kazantzakis’ novel CHRIST RECRUCIFIED (which is by far NOT the best of the Greekheretical thinker).
A whole planet of French, German and Greek actors take part in this historical movie: Jean Servais, Gert Frobe, Gregoire Aslan, Rene Lefevre, Lucien Raimbourg, Pierre Vaneck, Maurice Ronet, Fernand Ledoux, Roger Hanin, Nicole Berger, JOE DASSIN, Teddy Billis, Carl Mohner, Giorgos Fountas, Melina Mercouri, Nasos Kedrakas, Dimos Starenios and Rira Mousouri. The costumes of the movie are designed by Giannis Tsarouchis and the Greek music themes have been selected under the care of Manos Hatzidakis. THE RELIGIOUS, POLITICALLY REVOLUTIONARY MOVIE IS BEING DIRECTED BU JULES DASSIN -a National Treasure for Greece.
