      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    It is the year 1644 in Paris, France and a young actor, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (Duris), also known as Moli

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.31:1 DVD shows good resolution, with sharp fine details that reveal the fabrics and textures in the picture nicely. Color balance is nicely rendered, but the entire image can have a somewhat washed-out look, with elevated black levels and somewhat washed-out fleshtones. Skin can occasionally look too pink in outdoor scenes. Some of the darker scenes can show decent blacks, but they are still not as inky as in the best releases. Edge enhancement can be seen at times, and pixel breakup can be recognized as well. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #127 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review magazine because it gives not only in-depth reviews on equipment, as well as new technologies and technical breakthroughs, but also it has the best information on DVD movies in the world!!! Because I love movies so much (I own over 300 DVDs), Widescreen Review helps me decide which ones will look and sound the best without me having to rent hundreds of DVDs each month. The month is not complete without my copy of Widescreen Review magazine!!! Wish I would get two or three copies every month instead of one!!! Thank you for helping me with my passion!!!!
