Story Synopsis:
Director Richard Donner’s Radio Flyer weaves an intelligently successful mix of fantasy and harsh reality in this tale of two young brothers whose sense of the imaginary is heightened in an effort to escape their abusive step-father. This is a film to be experienced, a daring film about the tragedy of child abuse, as dealt with and seen through the eyes of child. It will make you realize that to children the world still has magic.
LaserDisc Picture:
Laszlo Kovacs’s cinematography is sharply focused to heighten the reality from the children’s viewpoint. The picture has an excellent film-like quality. The transfer at 2.25:1 is pristine and color fidelity and balance is superb. Everything look very natural with accurate fleshtones.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
Hans Zimmer’s music score is wonderful with full orchestra and a recording that has great depth and spaciousness. Bass extension is deep and the Dolby Surround® envelopes to provide a convincing ambience.
