Othello (1981 TV Movie)
6/10
Not the best Othello,but still good
15 November 2019
Othello is a generally very goood play and this TV movie based on the play is good,but with some problems.Sets and costumes are good ,except for Othello,but the lightning is too dark at some points.Off the three big roles, Bob Hoskins as Iago and Penelope Wilton as Desdemona fare the best,even though Iago's giggling is annoying .Othello got a bit too hammy and weird when he is convinced that Desdemona is unfaithfull.The final scene is touching,but ruined by Iago's giggling.At almost 3 and a half hours,this is a very long movie,so have patience watching it.Generally good Othello,but could have been better.6/10
