(Flash Review)
Not realizing Othello was anything more than a strategic board game, primarily because I have a strong dislike for Shakespeare, I was happy to be able to follow the plot while understanding less than half what was spoken. Understanding zero story nuances, I enjoyed the confident voice of Welles bellowing out poetic dialog. Complemented by his masterful cinematic eye this was still an enjoyable viewing and from what I gathered the acting was convincing. If you like but Welles and Shakespeare this is a must see.
