Possibly the best filmed Othello out there.
There are three exceptional films of Othello available (I am not including staged versions on film eg from The Globe). The first is the brilliant b/w Orson Welles version, arguably one of the best-ever filmed Shakespeares. It has three drawbacks for the modern purist; Welles playing Othello is extraordinarily convincing, but is nonetheless not himself black; Desdemona is feebly cast; and the final scene is a bit of a mix-up with lines re-ordered etc. In filmic terms it has the best directon and camerawork of the three.
The second is the Branagh-Fishburne colour film, richly, erotically shot, Branagh a spinechillingly amiable Iago, Fishburne criticised for his spoken Shakespeare, but I don't think he's at all bad. Another weak Desdemona. Perhaps for a younger audience?
McKellen's Iago is easily a match for Branagh, and Stubbs an excellent feisty Imogen. Willard deals with his speech well I think. The setting and camerawork not lush like the Branagh, though not 'stagey' - it is a filmed verson of a stage play, however.
So it's really how you feel about Welles, Branagh and McKellen, and how do you feel about Iago being the much stronger-cast than the Othello, as in the second two? Again arguably, Iago is the most interesting character - but a terrific Othello restores the balance in Welles' case.
