The film is a very watchable version of William Shakespeare’s
play Othello. It was filmed in Italy.
A story of love, hatred and racism, Othello is a Moorish general

With malice Iago creates the illusion that Desdemona is unfaithful. Othello
kills his wife before he discovers to lie. Once he realizes that he killed his
innocent wife, he kills himself.
