Othello is a 1995 film based on William Shakespeare's tragedy of the same name. It was directed by Oliver Parker and stars Laurence Fishburne as Othello, Irène Jacob as Desdemona, and Kenneth Branagh as Iago. This is the first cinematic reproduction of the play released by a major studio that casts an African American actor to play the role of Othello, although low-budget independent films of the play starring Ted Lange and Yaphet Kotto predated it.
This film is an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello. Othello is a Moor who has left his hometown Venice to fight against the Turks on the island of Cyprus. During the battle, he was accompanied by his faithful lieutenant, Cassio. As the film opens, Othello is returning to Venice from the long fight against the Turks. With much excitement, he meets with his love, Desdemona.
Iago, Othello's trusted companion, envies Othello's life and plans to ruin it by manipulating Othello into believing that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio and is pregnant with Cassio's child. He arouses Othello's suspicion and jealousy gradually, and then plants Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's clothing for Othello to find. When he does, he is convinced of Desdemona's infidelity and, in a rage, decides to kill both her and Cassio.

Le jour de ton anniversaire
Il est fait de dentelle fine
Léger comme la mousseline
Ce mouchoir, je l'ai vu tomber
L'autre soir du nouveau complet
De Cassio, quand il t'a conviée
A boire un verre et à danser
Desdemone, je t'aime comme personne
Je t'aime comme personne, je t'aime comme personne
Mais la jalousie fait sonner
Les trompettes de Jéricho dans le coeur de pierre d'Othello
Ce mouchoir, te l'a-t-il volé?
Ce mouchoir, lui as-tu donné?
Après tout, ce n'est pas un crime
Puisque c'est notre ami intime
Mais il paraît qu'on t'aurait vue
Avec lui, bras dessous dessus
Sortir d'un hôtel de banlieue,
Yago me l'a dit, des larmes plein les yeux
Desdemone, je t'aime comme personne
Je t'aime comme personne, je t'aime comme personne
Mais la jalousie fait sonner
Les trompettes de Jéricho dans le coeur de pierre d'Othello
Qu'as-tu fait, que n'as-tu pas fait?
Ces questions cent fois répétées
Font que j'ai peur, un de ces soirs,
D'aller trop loin sans le vouloir
Pour le voir cracher sa douleur
Dedans ce mouchoir de malheur
Que tu lui as donné un jour
Par amitié, ou qui sait par amour?
Desdemone, je t'aime comme personne
Je t'aime comme personne, je t'aime comme personne
Mais la jalousie fait sonner
