      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Experience Annie Leibovitz and her Life Through A Lens in this behind-the-scenes look at what has and continues to shape the work of one of the world

    DVD Picture:
    Typical of most documentaries, the anamorphically enhanced 1.77:1 DVD has varying levels of quality, being a collection of many different sources. Resolution is adequate, but even the original footage is relatively soft. Black levels are elevated and shadows are crushed at the near blacks. Fleshtones appear natural, although low overall contrast helps make them look relatively pale. Compression artifacts are recognizable throughout, as is moir

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #78 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR to stay at the forefront of the home theatre industry, to help me find products to fit my needs, and to read about products that I dream about one day owning.
