      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Martin Scorsese

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD picture looks much better than the previously released non-anamorphic DVD. The black-and-white imagery is haunting with deep blacks, bright whites, and excellent contrast. Images are sharp and nicely textured. The picture is much smoother, while retaining finer details. There is some pixel breakup, but edge enhancement is not a problem with this DVD. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    he Dolby

    Reason #122 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it’s great! It gives me all the information I need on HDTV home theatre, equipment, and DVD/D-VHS reviews. Other magazines don't even come close to the amount of information you give me! Also, you give me DVD evaluations, to tell me which DVD is right for my home theatre! Thank you, Widescreen Review for giving me the pleasure of reading your magazine! Thank you for helping me build my great home theatre! I LOVE IT
