Gloriously cinematic despite its tiny budget, Orson WelIes'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, WeIIes 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, aIongside Suzanne CIoutier as the innocent Desdemona, and Micheal MacLiammoir as the scheming Iago. Shot over the course of three years in ltaIy and Morocco and plagued by many logistical probIems, this fiercely independent film joins Macbeth and Chimes at Midnight in making the case for WeIles as the cinema's most audacious interpreter of the Bard.
