PASSING STRANGE: ORSON WELLES’ OTHELLO

“All these missing pieces and moveable parts are hardly seamless. But the fragmented quality becomes key to the movie’s nightmarish effect. Othello’s world is falling apart around him, and it feels like the film is as well. We see Iago lead him down, down, down a byzantine maze of columns, canals and liminal spaces as the green-eyed monster takes hold.” – Crooked Marquee, 10/09/2026
