Gloriously cinematic despite its tiny budget, Orson Welles's Othello is a testament to the filmmaker s stubborn wiIlingness to pursue his vision to the ends of the earth. Unmatched in his passionate identification with Shakespeare's imagination, Welles brings his inventive visuaI approach to this enduring tragedy of jealousy, bigotry, and rage, and aIso gives a towering performance as the Moor of Venice, aIongside Suzanne Cloutier as the innocent Desdemona, and MicheaI MacLiammoir as the scheming lago. Shot over the course of three years in ltaIy and Morocco and plagued by many IogisticaI probIems, this fiercely independent film joins Macbeth and Chimes at Midnight in making the case for WeIIes as the cinema's most audacious interpreter of the Bard.
