Product Information
Othello (The Criterion Collection) [DVD] Special Edition Gloriously cinematic despite being made on a tiny budget, Orson Welles’s Othello is a testament to the filmmaker’s stubborn willingness to pursue his vision to the ends of the earth. Unmatched in his passionate identification with Shakespeare’s imagination, Welles brings his inventive visual approach to this enduring tragedy of jealousy, bigotry, and rage, and also gives a towering performance as the Moor of Venice, alongside Suzanne Cloutier as his innocent wife, Desdemona, and Micheál MacLiammóir as the scheming Iago. Shot over the course of three years in Morocco, Venice, Tuscany, and Rome and plagued by many logistical problems, this fiercely independent film joins Macbeth and Chimes at Midnight in making the case for Welles as the cinema’s most audacious interpreter of the Bard. TWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New, restored 4K digital transfers of two versions of the film, the 1952 European version and the 1955 U.S. version Audio commentary featuring filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich and Orson Welles scholar Myron Meisel Return to Glennascaul, a 1953 short film made by MacLiammóir and actor Hilton Edwards during a hiatus from shooting Othello New interview with Welles biographer Simon Callow New interview with Welles scholar François Thomas on the differences between the two versions New interview with Ayanna Thompson, author of Passing Strange: Shakespeare, Race, and Contemporary America Interview from 2014 with Welles scholar Joseph McBride PLUS: An essay by film critic Geoffrey O’BrienProduct Identifiers

Criterion gives us Othello!
Orson Welles spent a few years (taking acting jobs, blah, blah, blah, you all know this.) but one of those acting jobs is a companion to "Othello" on disc two "Ghost Story" (28 min HD) I used to watch a warm out VHS with my mother around Halloween every year of ghost story. It's one of the better special features you can get these days. The film other went through some changes. Basically typical Welles stuff. So included in two HD versions of this overlooked masterpiece. While all Welles completists will buy this, it's far too good for Welles fans alone.
