Catch My Soul

About This Movie

Catch My Soul, a unique rock & roll adaptation of Othello, brings a funky twist to Shakespeare. The film's atmosphere is a strange mashup of religious fervor and musical energy, anchored by a wandering evangelist, played with a certain charm. The pacing can be a bit uneven, often oscillating between intense drama and laid-back musical interludes that keep things interesting. Iago's manipulative nature shines as he weaves his devious plots, and the rural commune setting adds an odd layer to the familiar tale. It's not your typical musical; there's a kind of rawness to it that makes it distinct, especially for those who appreciate unconventional takes on classic stories.

Catch My Soul has had a scattered release history, with its rarity adding to its allure among collectors. Finding it on VHS or DVD can be tricky, and it doesn’t pop up at conventions as often as you'd think. The film's cult status is bolstered by its odd melding of rock music and Shakespearean themes, captivating those who seek out the more obscure titles in their collections.
