Catch My Soul (1974)




























This film, starring Richie Havens as Othello and Lance LeGault as Iago, is based on Shakespeare's play, "Othello", which writer Jack Good delivers a unique perspective of the play. "Catch My Soul" implements a religious perspective with Othello as a Preacher and Iago as Satan. Iago spends the majority of his time seducing Cassio (Tony Joe White) and tricking Othello into believing Desedoma (Season Hubly) is being unfaithful.  All throughout the film, musical cuts exemplify scenes that translate to a very groovy spirit that keeps you glued to the film.
