Without video noise, the DVD also appears a good deal sharper than the Laserdisc. One has to imagine how good FLY AWAY HOME could have been on DVD with the Letterboxed transfer of its Laserdisc cousin. I had difficulty detecting digital artifacts on this DVD, so they won't be noticeable during normal viewing. The digitally encoded Dolby Surround soundtrack has a pleasing little mix which tends to favor Mark Isham's musical score. The DVD audio also includes a Dolby Digital soundtrack, in addition to French and Spanish language tracks.
Subtitles are available in Spanish.
FLY AWAY HOME really is a marvelous film. If you would like to see FLY AWAY HOME issued in the Letterboxed format on DVD, please take the time to contact Columbia TriStar Home Video.
