1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, June 8, 2007

By 

Mark Cohen "mark_cohen" (Earth) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Bell Jar (DVD)

I've been looking for this title on video/DVD for more than a decade, and was very surprised to suddenly see it listed here at Amazon. Unfortunately, upon placing the disc in my player, my anticipation turned to extreme disappointment.

This "digitally remastered" DVD looks like it was transferred to the medium from a really old, faded and probably moldy VHS tape. The image is blurry, and the colors are washed out. The sound is quite tinny, as well.

Under no circumstances should you consider buying this title. It's practically unwatchable, and would be a waste of money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really bad video quality, May 28, 2007

This review is from: The Bell Jar (DVD)

Another reviewer has also said it, the video quality is truly bad, and makes the DVD nearly unwatchable. If you have not seen the film before, you will miss a great deal simply because of the poor video, the story will be very hard to follow.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you loved the book..., October 6, 2005

This review is from: The Bell Jar (DVD)

...spare yourself this movie. I was so excited when I found out there was a movie, that I tracked down the VHS online. It was *really* disappointing. The acting was bland to bad, and it had almost none of the feel that made the book so enjoyable. The movie "Girl, Interrupted", while also a flawed translation, is a much better purchase if you're interested in this genre.
