| Notes | In addition to the 80-minute Othello, this collectible DVD offers a generous sampling of silent Shakespeare from international sources. "Duel Scene from Macbeth" (1905) and "The Taming of the Shrew" are Biograph shorts, both filmed by D.W. Griffith's great cameraman "Billy" Bitzer, and the latter directed by Griffith. "Romeo Turns Bandit" (1910) presents a contemporary take on Shakespeare's greatest romance, offering a rare opportunity to see French comedian Max Linder in a more subtle (but no less amiable) context. And the Danish "Desdemona" (1911) is a tinted, condensed version of Othello, which packs more into 23 minutes than most silent films twice its length. All in all, a fascinating survey of Shakespeare's influence on the young and burgeoning medium of film. --Jeff Shannon |
