Description

Oscar-nominee Laurence Fishburne (the "The Matrix" trilogy, "Osmosis Jones") and Kenneth Branagh ("Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," "Rabbit-Proof Fence") star in Shakespeare's thrilling tale about the doomed marriage between a Moorish general and the daughter of a Venetian noble (Irene Jacob -- "My Life So Far," "U.S. Marshals"). Leonard Maltin praises Fishburne as "very good" in the title role, with Branagh "brilliant as the witty, scheming Iago" in this riveting, naturalistic version of the classic tragedy.

    I use this all the time in my classroom. Great story and highly accessible Shakespeare. The characters are so wonderfully portrayed and developed. Iago is such a terrifying villain too!
