From All Movie Guide: Robert Benton's adaptation of Philip Roth's The Human Stain failed to generate much attention at the box office, but perhaps it will find its audience on DVD. The disc boasts a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The image is well presented, providing a fitting final tribute to cinematographer Jean-Yves Escoffier, who died after finishing his work on this film. He is the subject of a fine featurette in the extras section of this disc, which also offers a making-of documentary. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. French and Spanish subtitles are accessible. This is a fine disc from Miramax.
