The image on the DVD is slightly soft, which has more to do with the original cinematography and film elements, than any deficiency in the transfer. Perhaps the filmmakers were trying to photograph the actors in the most flattering manner possible. Despite the mild softness, the transfer provides good detail and solid color reproduction. The warmer hues are vibrant and recreated without any chromatic distortion or smearing. Additionally, flesh tones appear quite healthy.
Blacks appear accurate and the picture provides a respectable level of shadow detail.
The film element used for the transfer displays occasional blemishes and a few instances of noticeable film grain, although neither becomes obtrusive. Dialogue reproduction is clean and fully intelligible. Still, the track is very pleasant sounding, leaving me with no complaints. An English Dolby Surround soundtrack is also encoded on the disc, as are English subtitles. The basic interactive menus provide access to the standard scene selection and set up features, plus a couple of extras.
