      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a stage performance with generally soft image quality in all but the close-up shots, which appear much sharper. Colors appear to be well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Fine details shimmer and appear pixelized at times. The additional footage of Paris is quite blurry, but may be used as just a

    Soundtrack:
    The 5.1-channel audio presentations are both remarkable in terms of fidelity and dimensional scope. Diana Krall's voice spans the three front channels, with significant ambience directed to the stereo surrounds. The surrounds are prominent in activity throughout and also effectively render the ambient recordings of the instrumentation.

Both audio versions should deliver with an abundance of satisfaction; yet the DTS

    Reason #114 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I appreciate the technical nature of your DVD reviews; that is, the way you rate the sound and picture quality of newly released DVDs. The reviews in most other magazines are concerned not with how good the DVD is, but with just the film itself: quality of the script, actors' performances, etc., all of which are subject to the critic's personal tastes, which may be wildly different from my own.
