The look of the film offers a number of pitfalls for video reproduction, without the addition of heavy digital compression. The Letterboxed transfer is smooth looking, with solid colors, and film grain is held in check throughout. This film isn't slick, glossy or glamorous looking, but the transfer does faithfully reproduce the filmmaker's intentions. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a very engrossing mix, full of subtlety and nuance which draws the viewer into the world of the film. Other soundtrack options include a matrixed Dolby Surround soundtrack, as well as a French Language track.
Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish.
The DVD is a first rate representation of the film and is well worth acquiring.
