Story Synopsis:
Camilla, based on a short story by Ali Jennings, is a delightful drama-comedy of two women who are searching for fulfillment and find it while on the road together. Freda (Bridget Fonda), a hopeful singer/songwriter and her artist-husband Vince (Elias Koteas) are trying to make a change in their life and decide to move to Georgia. There they befriend their landlord Harold (Maury Chaykin) and his mother Camille (Jessica Tandy), the once beautiful and famous violinist. When Harold and Vince leave on business Freda and Camilla soon find they have more than music in common, they are both searching for happiness and decide to return to Toronto and the famous Winter Garden Theatre where Camille’s has a final meeting with her long-lost love.
LaserDisc Picture:
The matted 1.85:1 picture is natural in ap-pearance with good shadow detail, deep solid blacks and accurate fleshtones. Some noise is apparent in the darker scenes but the picture has no distracting artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack conveys its monaural presence with limited surround envelopment. Conventional movie stereo at work with the music providing a subtle surround effect.
