aloof, puritanical figure into which most actors turn the Moor. The text is ì
cut to the bone, which is perhaps wise in view of the problems Fishburne has ì
with the verse - as, even more so, does his Desdemona (the pretty Swiss ì
actress, Irene Jacob). Kenneth Branagh, who speaks verse with an eloquent ì
intelligence, does his best movie work to date and there are pleasant Visual ì
touches." Derek Malcom in Mail & Guardian May 24, 1996
