      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Winner of three Cesars (French Oscars

    DVD Picture:
    The 2.35:1 anamorphically enhanced picture, viewed through the component video output, has a very pleasing visual appearance with rich, vibrant colors, natural fleshtones and deep pure blacks. Images are sharp and detailed into backgrounds, with nicely rendered contrast and shadow delineation. Only some scenes have a soft appearance, but otherwise the picture is quite pleasing throughout. There are no distracting artifacts or pixelization.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #128 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it gets to the details I'm really interested in knowing. It doesn't beat around the bush. I love the DVD reviews and the insightful articles. Besides insightful, WSR seems to be able to put into print some of the latest breaking news in this ever-changing industry within weeks, if not days, of the original release of the news. And last but not least, I have access to the subscription website.
