  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
In

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture (originated in DV) is a creative mix of color (fully saturated, to desaturated) and black-and-white images. While the picture can be sharp, sometimes images appear undefined or smeared. Contrast and shadow delineation appear to be well balanced. There is some edge enhancement noticed. The picture has a raw, unrefined quality. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
