WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
Nomimated for a Best Actor Academy Award

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits good quality, with the black & white scenes exhibiting a nice gray scale. Images are sharp throughout the film, with fine facial and background detail presented. The picture is beautifully rendered with solid, balanced colors, accurate fleshtones and deep, pure blacks. Sometimes, the stylized colors are nicely monochromatic. Fine film grain is revealed off and on throughout the movie, but pixelization and aliasing are kept to a minimum.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby

Reason #26 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

Before WSR, there was a 4:3 picture tube. After WSR, there is a nice 65 inch widescreen rear projection TV. However, it's only a beginning, because WSR started a dream. The reality looks crisper and clearer now, even the sound is more precise and enveloping. Widescreen Review: P5/S5, one's critic�s composite: 5. Thank you, WSR. Keep up the excellent work!
