  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Winner of three Cesars (French Oscars

DVD Picture:
The 2.35:1 anamorphically enhanced picture, viewed through the component video output, has a very pleasing visual appearance with rich, vibrant colors, natural fleshtones and deep pure blacks. Images are sharp and detailed into backgrounds, with nicely rendered contrast and shadow delineation. Only some scenes have a soft appearance, but otherwise the picture is quite pleasing throughout. There are no distracting artifacts or pixelization.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
