      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Bernardo Bertolucci

    DVD Picture:
    The picture opens with extremely dirty and grainy black-and-white images that help depict the era in which this story is set. The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD nicely presents Vittorio Storaro

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
