| Spanish abstract | La película Omkara (2006), dirigida por Vishal Bhardwaj, es una adaptación de la obra de Othello de William Shakespeare. La historia se ubica en la India contemporánea y este ensayo discute las decisiones interpretativas del director. Bhardwaj transfiere exitosamente los valores isabelinos al sur de Asia y logra potenciar el conflicto de Othello de tal manera que el espectador entiende las razones de la tragedia. La cinta contiene los rasgos característicos del cine de Bollywood, pero las nociones fundamentales del texto de Shakespeare también están presentes. Bhardwaj hizo una lectura cuidadosa del texto y reaccionó frente a una serie de elementos que terminaron en decisiones de representación. La narrativa traslada una lectura académica al contexto de una cinta comercial comprensible para el público |
| English abstract | The film Omkara (2006), directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, is based on the tragedy of Othello by William Shakespeare. The story of this movie is set in contemporary India and the interpretive resources of the film maker are discussed throughout the essay. Bhardwaj successfully transfers the values of the Elizabethan world into contemporary south Asia and it enhances Othello's conflict in a manner such that the spectator apprehends the inherent dangers as the action unfolds. The movie has the characteristic features of Bollywood films, but the basic notions of Shakespeare's text are also present. Bhardwaj undertook a very careful reading of Shakespeare's text reacting to a critical series of events that led to this successful representation which thus rendered a very academic analysis within a popular sphere understandable for the audience |
