Dead Poets Society

Peter Weir's schoolroom drama comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are no subtitles on this release. There are no extra features on this disc. Considering the enduring popularity of this film, it is surprising that more attention has not been lavished on its DVD release, but the image and sound are acceptable.
