Persuasion

Roger Michell's adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include bonus trailers and production notes. This Columbia/TriStar release does a fine job of presenting the film, making it worthwhile for anyone interested in elegant literary adaptations.
