  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
From the novel by Nobel Prize Winner P

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD exhibits a dated picture with soft and often undefined images. Colors are weak and undefined, with brownish blacks and pasty fleshtones.

Edge enhancement can be a problem, and there is also some pixelization to distract. Overall, this is an unimpressive visual experience for a DVD. (Suzanne Hodges)
