  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
he ballet world is one of the most cutthroat arenas around

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture in all aspects of image quality. Images are sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered background definition. Colors are nicely balanced and very natural, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are well rendered throughout. The picture is easy-on-the-eyes, with few distractions. Minor edge enhancement and occasional shimmering problems are noticed, but otherwise the picture will surely please.

Soundtrack:
Lately, Columbia TriStar has been releasing a string of DVDs with unusually substantial dialnorm offsets
