Summary of Othello

Writer/Director Oliver Parker (An Ideal Husband) adapts Shakespeare's towering tragedy of passion and jealousy with shattering performances by Kenneth Branagh (Iago) Irene Jacob (Desdemona) and Laurence Fishburne as the title-role warrior who ruled armies but not his own heart.Running Time: 125 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?053939253023
Oliver Parker, a stage and film actor (Hellraiser), made his directorial debut with this scaled-back version of Shakespeare's play about the paranoid Moor, Othello (Laurence Fishburne), and his manipulative friend, Iago (Kenneth Branagh). Parker gets the story so lean he starts running a little short on the author's subtext, and if it's possible to overemphasize the banality of Iago's scheming and Othello's malleability, he does so. The director throws out what is universal in the story and makes it all seem merely ordinary, human, and unfortunate, which is the opposite of what watching Shakespeare should be. In the end, it's hard to care what these characters have done to one another. Branagh's Iago is a little flat and unfocused, while Fishburne is excellent as a quieter Othello than we're accustomed to. With Ir?ne Jacob (Red) as Desdemona. --Tom Keogh
