DVD Picture:
The 1.78:1 DVD picture is anamorphically enhanced, with images that have a slightly soft appearance, though details can be nicely rendered. Colors are a bit pale in the low light environments, with slightly weak fleshtone saturation and blacks that lack definition. Contrast also seems a bit low. Pixelization causes minor image breakup, but there is no unsightly edge enhancement. The source element is revealing of some grain and minor artifacts. Overall, the look of the picture is understated and soft. (Suzanne Hodges)
