    Story Synopsis:
    Red (Trois Coleurs: Rouge) is the final chapter in director Krzysztof Kieslowski

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered picture, with images that can be sharp and crisp, with well balanced contrast and shadow delineation. Red provides a thematic spot color throughout the film. There is some grain, as well as occasional flecks of dirt, noticed in the source element. Pixelization creates a

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby Digital 2.0 matrix soundtrack is typically reserved in dimension, and is also dialogue-centric. This is the most refined of the trilogy in terms of recording quality and spatial character. Voices sound reasonably natural and also distinct. The music is the dominant multichannel aspect of this soundtrack, with a modest projection of envelopment throughout the listening space. (Perry Sun)

    Reason #7 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Truth is, there is no other magazine, on-line or in print, that covers the substantive issues, controversies, and current topics of the A/V world with as much relevance and detail as WSR does without forcing the reader to filter out the bias of the reviewer. Some other notable sources of information are top-heavy with reviews suffering from too much coloration: the golden eyes or ears syndrome. I prefer the clinical analysis of WSR with a touch of humor thrown in, to make for better reading. Thanks for giving me the facts and helping me with my buying decisions.
