      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Academy Award

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture on both editions that is sharp and nicely detailed, though some minor smearing is noticed. The color scheme can appear a bit desaturated to help with the period of the movie, while sometimes nicely balanced, and other scenes are stylized with rich blue overtones. Edge enhancement is quite a distraction, especially with objects in high contrast against a snowy setting. The picture can also have a slight

    Soundtrack:
    There are English-dubbed (both discs) and original Italian (Disc Two) Dolby

    Reason #102 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I just recently started a home theatre business called Celestial Audio Video. Widescreen Review plays an important part for many reasons. Not only can I keep up with new trends and new technologies, I can understand better, and I am able to also explain to customers about forth-coming products. The in-depth and detail of your articles are not only appreciated but needed. In short, on a professional level your publication is a must-read every month. On a personal level, I enjoy the DVD reviews, the monthly feedback, and editor's couch. I would also like to see more reviews on DVD concerts. As far as I'm concerned, your magazine is top notch for home theatre, unsurpassed by none and stands in a class by itself. A true reference quality publication.
