    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced DVD, framed at 2.40:1, exhibits a wild, super-stylized picture that adds a quirky visual twist to the storytelling.

The bright hues can be well balanced or offer bold spot color in a monochromatic, highly contrasted shot. In all, this is a captivating picture that is solid, with only occasional edge enhancement to distract, or minor pixelization to cause the breakup of finer details. (Suzanne Hodges)
