Directed by Orson Welles, this 1952 classic has been digitally restored and is being presented at the Cinematheque. Shot in fragments over the course of four years, Othello features ever-changing actors and locations, Orson Welles’ baroque and a visually incredible rendition of Shakespeare’s classic.
