4.0 out of 5 stars Not just a modernized Othello; the ending will amaze you!, May 22, 1999
By 
Marc Capralis (Temecula, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: El (This Strange Passion) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
As I watched this 1952 Mexican film by Luis Bunuel, I thought it was just an updated version of Shakespeare's Othello, albeit an excellent version of Othello. But Bunuel is too great an artist to be ordinary. The acting of Arturo De Cordova, who is the perfect picture of jealousy gone mad, and the rest of the cast is excellent. I strongly recommend this film to Bunuel fans, as well as lovers of foreign film. The surrealistic ending alone is worth the price of admission.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless DVD, December 5, 2009
The elements exist to create a pristine copy of this film. I've seen it in 35mm and it's Buñuel's masterpiece, and it has been well preserved. This copy however is absolutely unwatchable and worthless.

3.0 out of 5 stars No English Subtitles, March 27, 2011
By 
Buyers should be warned that the DVD has NO English subtitles, and all extras are in printed Spanish (except for a couple of photographs).

I think calling this DVD "absolutely unwatchable" is a bit extreme, however the video quality is uneven. It's particularly bad during any panning shots - possibly due to the digital compression methods used.
