Any modern film or book that tells a story of sexual jealousy ending in violence and death?
I would like something like Othello, but not just a retelling. I was thinking on something original.

Cold Fish, a movie by Sion Sono
Give my "My Fiance is in Love with My Little Sister" a shot, you probably won't be disappointed if you're actively looking for a story like that.
Oh fuck off weeb
I strongly recommend you "The Kreutzer Sonata" by Tolstoy, it's not modern but it's timeless
beta males have been writing about this since the greeks
Blind Beast - 1969
Not really a movie about jealousy but still a really interesting movie that probably have the same type of atmosphere that you are after. The movie is also based on a book with the same name made by Edogawa Ranpo.
I was thinking on writing a play like that. Something like Othello, But Iago would be a woman who would convince a married man that his wife had betrayed him, and that the couple's children were from another man. This woman would convince the man to kill his wife, but not before killing his children, not only for revenge, but because it would be the "best thing to do" to "spare them from suffering, etc"
I think this female Iago would something like a college "friend" of the woman she wants to destroy. She resents the opponent's success and also has something of a hidden desire for her husband, or even for her.
These are the first glimpses of the project I had, but I don't know if this is a good idea.
not the best Tolstoy, but great by any other standard
The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford.
An absolute masterpiece, inaugurating so many of the styles we will see later as modernism. I can't recommend it enough.
well deserved
