| Video: The movie is presented in a rather beautiful Widescreen Anamorphic format, which is a good thing indeed -- because even if you can't stand the story and/or the dialogue, there's little denying that Strings is a very cool-looking film.
Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0, which offers a perfectly fine aural presentation. Music, dialogue, and effects levels seem to be all on the same page, but if you crank the volume you'll get a solid earful.
Extras: There's a way-too-short 2.5-minute behind-the-scenes featurette that offers some random on-set footage of the puppeteers preparing to do their thing. I'd hoped for something a bit more in-depth, but a tiny peek is better than nothing. There's also a collection of filmographies for director Anders Rønnow-Klarlund and voice actors Derek Jacobi, James McAvoy, Catherine McCormack, and Julian Glover, and a healthy array of trailers for various Wellspring releases: Strings, Funny Ha Ha, Palindromes, Nina's Tragedies, Dear Wendy, The Beat That My Heart Skipped, and Kings & Queen. |
