Story Synopsis:
Anne Frank Remembered is the amazing and emotional Academy Award®-winning documentary from Jon Blair. Narrated by Kenneth Branagh with extracts from “The Diary Of Anne Frank” read by Glenn Close, vintage newsreel footage, photographs and even a rare home movie look beyond the celebrated pages of Anne’s diary. Filled with surprising and often heartbreaking interviews with family and friends, Anne’s life serves as an unforgettable symbol of the many lives lost in the Holocaust. Intended to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Anne’s death (she died in late Febrary or early March), Anne Frank Remembered was released theatrically on February 23, 1996.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.66:1 picture exhibits overall natural color fidelity and fleshtones. The color sequences are sharp and detailed with slight noise and artifacts while the black and white footage is dated with serious artifacts and film scratches.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack has a beautiful string orchestra that is well recorded with excellent soundstage imaging. The other elements are essentially the mono tracks from historical film reels and a nicely recorded dialogue narrative and commentary.
