Othello
1981 · 204 MIN · IMDB 7.1 · 499 VOTES · DIR. Jonathan Miller
Overview
Iago and a comrade-in-arms are outside the Venice home of Desdemona's father, who does not yet know that she has eloped with Othello. Iago confides to his friend -- who had hoped to marry Desdemona -- that he serves Othello to further his own ends. Venice needs Othello to protect its commercial interests in Cyprus where the Turkish fleet is headed. Desdemona insists on going to Cyprus, too. In Cyprus, Iago plots to convince Othello that Desdemona has betrayed him with Cassio. A lot more than political ambition seems to be motivating Iago.

01:22:55 O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
01:32:14 And give’t Iago: What he will do with it
01:40:18 Let us be wary, let us hide our loves’;
01:50:07 but what an if it were?

02:04:16 I was a fine fool to take it.
02:11:42 You shall observe him
02:21:29 Am I that name, Iago?
02:29:08 Madam, good night; I humbly thank your ladyship.
