Othello - The Lost Masterpiece (1952)
Critics Consensus: This ragged take on Othello may take liberties with the source material, but Orson Welles' genius never fails to impress.
Synopsis: Long believed lost, this is the newly restored masterpiece of Orson Welles' 1952 classic based on the famous William Shakespeare play. Also includes a special introduction by his daughter Beatrice Welles-Smith.
Directed By: Orson Welles
Featured Review
Othello has been filmed numerous times, but never with such extraordinary visual grace and power.
Next: Hamlet (1948)
