      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    A controversial modern-day version of Shakespeare

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a sharp and nicely detailed picture, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are rich and vibrant, with bold hues, accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. The picture is quite solid throughout, but there is some pixelization noticed. The presence of edge enhancement is very minor. (Suzanne Hodges) The DVD also includes a modified 1.33:1 version (not reviewed).

    Soundtrack:
    The predominant multichannel element of this well-produced Dolby
