  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Nick Broomfield

DVD Picture:
The 1.66:1 DVD is not anamorphically enhanced, and the picture is presented here with image quality typical of documentaries. Sharpness and detail varies, with archival footage and interviews appearing drastically different; at times extremely smeared and undefined or generally sharp and satisfying. The picture can be generally bright, but contrast is a bit low. There is plenty of grain revealed from the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
