      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Blonde and beautiful, and with family money, Edie Sedgwick (Miller) made her way into the 1960

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD starts out overly contrasted and incredibly grainy, but quickly switches to a more realistic look. Fleshtones look good and details are captured quite well. Shadow delineation is not as well defined as on the better releases, with detail in the darkness difficult to see. Details often look slightly soft, and edge enhancement is noticeable. Source element artifacts are noticeable from time to time, film grain is heavy, and noise is prevalent, but it would not be surprising to hear that all were intended by the filmmakers, as they match the storytelling well. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #40 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love your magazine and am a subscriber! In order of priority, I read Widescreen in order to: 1) Read about home theatre equipment technology that is on the cutting edge. To see where the industry is going, so that I can make informed buying decisions. As an example, when I saw that the DVD Forum Adopts HD-DVD Format (Feb 04), so(delete) I canceled my plans to buy a recordable DVD player, as I can see High Def DVD players are just around the corner. For the same reason, I am also limiting my purchase of movies on regular DVD as well. 2) Read DVD movie reviews, so that I can see whether a DVD is worth buying or not. If a movie receives poor Widescreen ratings on Picture and/or Sound, I probably will not buy the DVD. Rounders is one of my favorite movies, but I refuse to purchase it based on your poor ratings. 3) Home theatre configuration advice. Thanks and keep up the great work.
