      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After the fall of Rome the Irish and the British were never more divided. As the Irish King Donnchadh (O'Hara) was exercising power over England, Lord Marke (Sewell) of Britain hoped to unite forces and take over himself one day. When the king offered his daughter to the winner of an upcoming tournament, young warrior "Tristan" (Franco) won the battle "+ Isolde" (Myles) was excited, thinking that she would finally be with her true love. But Tristan had fought on behalf of Lord Marke and Isolde was to become his wife, leaving Tristan torn between loyalty to his mentor and love for the man's new wife. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD picture exhibits a color palette that is complementary to the setting of the story. Hues tend to be dark with desaturation

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #127 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review magazine because it gives not only in-depth reviews on equipment, as well as new technologies and technical breakthroughs, but also it has the best information on DVD movies in the world!!! Because I love movies so much (I own over 300 DVDs), Widescreen Review helps me decide which ones will look and sound the best without me having to rent hundreds of DVDs each month. The month is not complete without my copy of Widescreen Review magazine!!! Wish I would get two or three copies every month instead of one!!! Thank you for helping me with my passion!!!!
