      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In his brief introduction at the beginning of "Address Unknown," director Kim Ki-Duk states that the film is about American soldiers stationed in Korea. While this certainly is the case, the focus of the movie is on the young Koreans whose lives are affected by the tragedies of war. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.80:1 DVD picture exhibits mediocre quality at best. Being sourced from less-than-optimal elements, the picture is plagued by film grain artifacts and dirt. Colors are poorly saturated and sharpness is merely adequate. Pixel breakup can be a problem with this title, and there is also some edge enhancement noticed in the higher contrast scenes. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Both the Dolby

    Reason #89 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love your DVD and equipment reviews!!! Every part of your magazine has tons of info. I love the people you interview. I also love how you have BY FAR the best mail responses to our mail and e-mail. From The Editor's Couch has a ton of info in every issue. Coming Soon is a nice area that is better than any other magazine out there. I am glad you are in touch with the new HD DVD in every issue for the most up-to-date info around. I have all of your issues and plan on getting your awesome magazine forever! Thanks.
