      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Under a fictitious Midnight Sun (Soleil De Minuit), the Cirque Du Soleil troupe dance as if they are street performers; singing, spinning, and flying through the air. With spectacular props and fascinating makeup, this is certain to be a cherished addition to your collection of DVD performances by the troupe. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits very pleasing image quality that gives viewers a closer glimpse of the performers than many where were at the live show. Colors are nicely saturated and well balanced, often popping from the screen with vibrance. Images area sharp and detailed, and the picture is quite smooth with only minor, occasional pixel breakup; nothing that is terribly distracting. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #75 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because WSR is my fog lights that cut through the murk and confusion of the twists and turns of the road to home theatre. It provides clear directions and warning signs to any would-be traveler.
