Robert Brinkmann's beautiful cinematography is more than well served by this transfer. Digital compression artifacts were hardly a problem on the Letterboxed version, but were slightly more noticeable on the pan and scan presentation. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a great mix, which uses the discrete channels quite well. There is always something interesting in the mix and the soundtrack should be played loud to get the full effect. Other soundtrack options include matrixed Dolby Surround, plus French and Spanish language tracks.
Subtitles are available in Spanish and Korean.
The DVD edition is a knockout and will make an excellent edition to most collections.
