Tess [Special Edition]

"Roman Polanski's beautifully photographed adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Ubervilles, Tess, debuts on DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The transfer does justice to the first-rate cinematography. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Surround. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a rather extensive set of behind-the-scenes footage that offers a variety of insights into the making of this film, the last Polanski would direct for seven years. This exact same disc is also available in a deluxe edition that contains a paperback edition of the novel."
