      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Jeanne (Parillaud) is at her wits end while directing her latest movie. The promising young stars are having a serious problem with the "Sex" scene and she doesn't know what to do about it. The film "Is" not a "Comedy," and she finds nothing funny about the situation they have put her in. So, Jeanne decides that it's up to her to get her leading actor and actress to do what she wants them to do and she won't quit until it's done. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits generally satisfying image quality, with an accurate color scheme. Fleshtones are often well balanced and nicely rendered, with understated natural hues, and generally deep blacks. Images are sharp, with nicely rendered details. There is some obtrusive edge enhancement noticed in this title, as well as some pixel breakup. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #106 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    No one covers the issues in more detail than Widescreen Review. No one else has the breadth and depth of different review systems on which to base transfer quality opinions. Gary Reber has given more editorial space to important Home Theatre trends and technologies than anyone in the industry, AND he has Joe Kane and Greg Rogers on his staff as advisors/columnists. 'Nuff said.
