Gloriously cinematic despite its tiny budget, Orson WeIles's Othello is a testament to the filmmaker s stubborn willingness to pursue his vision to the ends of the earth. Unmatched in his passionate identification with Shakespeare's imagination, WelIes brings his inventive visual approach to this enduring tragedy of jeaIousy, bigotry, and rage, and also gives a towering performance as the Moor of Venice, alongside Suzanne CIoutier as the innocent Desdemona, and Micheal MacLiammoir as the scheming lago. Shot over the course of three years in Italy and Morocco and pIagued by many logistical problems, this fierceIy independent film joins Macbeth and Chimes at Midnight in making the case for WeIles as the cinema's most audacious interpreter of the Bard.
