Othello / 19957.121 voti

L'unione di Othello e Desdemona porta con sé dolore e morte invece che gioia e festeggiamenti. Iago li spia e trama contro di loro, insinuando nel fiero Moro il germe della gelosia: suggerisce perfidamente l'idea che Desdemona ami segretamente Cassio, scelto come luogotenente al posto di Iago stesso. Othello è accecato dal sospetto, che pian piano, sempre fomentato da Iago, si trasforma in ostinata convinzione. La passione lascia il posto solo alla vendetta e alla tragedia. Shakespeare e il suo dramma ritornano per l'ennesima volta in un adattamento cinematografico.

Othello / 2001

With freshly rechristened characters and brand-new dialogue, this British TV production of Othello is a "rethinking" of Shakespeare's play, albeit still retaining the original's power and potency. The story is set in the London of the near future, a crime-ridden metropolis virtually torn apart by racial hostilities. By order of the Prime Minister, black police officer John Othello (Eamonn Walker) is promoted to Commissioner, a post dearly coveted by Othello's friend, mentor and fellow officer Ben Jago (Christopher Eccleston). Seething with jealousy, Jago contrives to discredit Othello in the eyes of the public, and to destroy John's interracial marriage to the lily-white Dessie (Keeley Hawes). Among those used as unwitting dupes to gain Jago's ends are Othello's trusted lieutenant, Michael Cass (Richard Coyle), scrupulously honest police constable Alan Roderick (Del Synnott), and Jago's own wife, Lulu (Rachael Stirling).

Othello / 1922

Even without the benefit of sound, the 1922 German adaptation of Othello seems more operatic than Shakespearean. This may be due to the casting of Emil Jannings, to whom restraint and subtlety were strangers. Werner Krauss, of Cabinet of Dr. Caligari fame, is on hand as the duplicitous Iago. Appearing as the unfortunate Desdemona is Lea Von Lenkeffy, better known as Lya de Putti. Produced on an elaborate scale, Othello may not be true to the letter of Shakespeare, but is undeniably a smorgasbord of visual delights.
