Notes on filmic interpretation- 1995 Oliver Parkers film Costume- Othello is first dressed in black. Desdemona is glimpsed in a red slip when Othello imagines her in bed with Cassio. Othellos cravat, later, is yellow- colour of jealousy. The relationships between Othello, Desdemona, Bianca, Cassio etc. are portrayed very visually sexual. Othello and Desdemonas first consummation of marriage in the bedroom is accompanied

with tribal beats, Othellos behaviour is very savage and beast like as he approaches Desdemona on the bed. The erotic appeal of Desdemona in this film lessens the perception of Desdemona as the epitome of purity Parkers Othello tends to act more in sorrow than in anger Parker uses Othello and Desdemonas hands (black/white hand close up) to exhibit their intimacy at the middle of the play which is then contrasted with the separation of their hands in the last scene of Desdemonas death foreseeing the events about to occur Desdemonas death scene is not submissive, she fiercely resists the actions of Othello and fights desperately for her life.
