Michael Cacoyannis
Michael Cacoyannis, who has just celebrated 50 years in films, is famous for Zorba the Greek and Electra. Selected for Cannes several times, he launched the careers of Melina Mercouri and Irene Papas. After the Colonels’ Coup in Greece, he went into exile abroad, where he made The Trojan Women, with Irene Papas, Vanessa Redgrave and Genevieve Bujold. In 1974, he made a documentary on Turkish-occupied Cyprus and three years later made the third part of his tragic trilogy, Iphigenia. After the fall of the dictatorship in Greece, Cacoyannis made a film about the military takeover in Chile in 1983, Sweet Country. After a period of silence, he adapted for the screen Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, with Alan Bates and Charlotte Rampling.
