Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for music lovers and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 31 min.
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

José Cura sings and acts here with an inwardness and intensity which make a profound impression. So does Krassimira Stoyanova as Desdemona, not in the first flush of youth, but heartfelt and direct; while Lado Ataneli's Jago is a brilliantly understated study in jovial malevolence. With strong conducting from Antoni Ros-Marbà, the whole cast collaborate to give us the truth of this desperately upsetting work, as no other DVD and few live performances I've seen of it ever have.
