Directed by Oliver Parker in 1995, 'Othello' is a faithful adaptation of Shakespeare's classic play, set against the backdrop of the Venetian army. The film explores themes of jealousy, betrayal, and manipulation through its central character, Iago, played masterfully by Kenneth Branagh. Despite its tragic conclusion, 'Othello' stands as a profound examination of human nature and the destructive power of envy.
