Title: Five Stars for content, Four Stars for media
Review: This is a beautiful story that made the transition from novel to cinema quite gracefully. I would not consider not owning this film -- I have to have it. Even the supporting actors are fantastic. My two favorite supporting roles: Gertrudis and Chencha! What gems! The cinematography is gorgeous.I wanted to give this 5 stars because I love this story so much, but the DVD has a lot of artifacts from what appears to be a fairly battered copy of the film. The most salient artifacts are the reel cues (which appear as ragged circles along the right edge, centered vertically.) Except for these problems, the rest of the video transfer is quite well done with minimal compression artifacts. I suppose the sound is as originally mastered: stereo. We all love our surround sound, but this film is carried by the story so it isn't missed much.
