Rating: 4.0
great film, ok DVD
The film is brilliant -- sets, acting, script are all superb. It's interesting, intelligent, visually beautiful, and creates genuine tension. How wonderful -- a thriller without gore!The DVD is done on the cheap. No bonus materials. The opening credits -- despite this being a 'widescreen' edition -- run off the sides of the screen. The 'matting' is uneven: the black strip below the picture on the screen is thicker on the left side than on the right. And, oddly (because it's over 2 hours long?), you have to turn the DVD over midway through.Glad this wonderful title is available, but a big slap on the wrist to the cheap producer and the sloppy engineer.
