Othello (1951)
7/10
A completed Shakespeare drama .
19 January 2015
Orson Welles with skillfully and with highly narrative techniques manages to give the viewer a comprehensive view of the tragic history of black Venice, Othello .Not many movies and even fewer directors can adapt theatrical masterpieces of Shakespeare on screen .Welles uses his directing intelligence to guide the audience through the story without being boring.Of course the experimental photography and daring choice of frames may confuse the viewer in some cases.Also Welles again shows his talent in acting , like other actors of course since the acting is over the top.In conclusion maybe film does not fit naturally to the mainstream viewer but can leave integrated anyone haven't yet tasted the works of Wells and / or Shakespeare,but the lovers of the kind and of the director will be pleased to add "The Tragedy of Othello: The Moor of Venice" to their movie collection .
