Pascali's Island is a 1988 film with Ben Kingsley and Helen Mirren, based on a book by Barry Unsworth. It was presented at the Cannes festival film in 1988.The film was largely shot on the Greek island of Symi in the late summer of 1987.
In the Greece of 1908, a part British and part Cypriot man, Pascali, a spy for the Sultan, sends reports to Istanbul that nobody reads. His suspicions are aroused when a British archeologist appears, who may not be quite what he seems, and the same goes for the other people who come to the island.
