"O"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

The basic storyline of "Othello" transposed into an American private school in the South.
Although it did not work perfectly -- the cascade of killings that characterizes the final act of all of Shakespeare's tragedies seems somehow less believable transposed to modern times -- in one sense it worked very well: the intensity of late adolescent emotions and the lack of feeling for the long-term consequences of acts drove the plot very well.
An interesting film and not your usual adolescent summer fare.
