In the 1995 film directed by Oliver Parker, the valiant Moorish general Othello marries the noble Desdemona (Irène Jacob), sparking the fury and envy of the ensign Iago over his failed promotion. Through a sophisticated and diabolical web of deceit, Iago plants in Othello’s mind the unfounded suspicion that his wife is having an affair with Lieutenant Cassio. Blinded by devastating jealousy, the protagonist slips inexorably into madness, leading the story to a tragic and irreparable conclusion.
At the thirty-third minute, we witness the film’s only nude scene. Irène Jacob is standing at the edge of the bed. She slips out of her dress while a man watches her, then lies down in wait. He joins her and kisses her. We see her breasts as the two have sex.
