...appropriately ingenuous Desdemona and sustains the first half of the last act beautifully with the "Willow Song" and the Ave Maria. Although her performance doesn't mesh entirely with Pavarotti's careful reading of his role (especially in the first-act love duet, which comes across more as two parallel soliloquies), her characterization is admirable, and she comes into her own in the second-act scene where she is admired by the chorus of men, women and children...

The crafting of a Burns film proceeds on two parallel tracks. On the one hand, film is shot and archival material collected without regard for what they might illustrate. At the same time, a script is prepared without regard for whether there are pictures to illustrate it. The editing process that follows, says Burns, is "an incredibly difficult horse-trading maneuver...
