Home > O (movie)


The movie O is a 'teen' version of William Shakespeare's Othello. Told in a contemporary high school setting, Othello is now Odin ( Mekhi Phifer), star of the basketball team and the school's only African American student. Desdemona is Desi ( Julia Stiles), the dean's daughter and Odin's girlfriend, and Iago is Hugo ( Josh Hartnett), the coach's steroid-shooting son, who jealously plants seeds of doubt that fester in Odin's mind, leading them all to a tragically violent fate.

The film's release date originally coincided with the Columbine High School massacre, so the film was shelved. It was finally released in 2001.
