This is a
very good documentary and Home Vision has done it justice. The image is
better than you might expect from a television release. The enclosed
liner notes essay is wonderful with drawings and there is 19-strong
gallery that you can click through.
No subtitles (which I would have been appreciative of) but otherwise top
notch. Way to go Home Vision! |
