      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the novel by Rosa Montero, "Luc

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture can be soft, slightly burred, and wanting in better contrast at times. On the positive side, colors can be nicely balanced with satisfying fleshtones and deep, but undefined blacks. Annoying halos can be noticed around edges. There is also some smearing and pixel breakup for a generally mediocre visual experience. (Suzanne Hodges) The disc also includes a modified 1.33:1 (4:3) full screen version of the movie -- not reviewed.

    Soundtrack:
    The Spanish Dolby

    Reason #6 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for a couple of reasons. First, I work in the electronics industry, and it is essential to have great demo material when presenting a product. It would be impossible to buy every DVD out there to find out what looks and sounds good in the DVD world. Second, electronics is my passion. I am constantly looking for any new information on software and hardware. WSR is a great source of information on both hardware and software.
