Virginia Lee Burton: A Sense of Place
With exaggerated colors, camera work that alternates between fixed shots of talking heads and gliding pans across book illustrations, editing that fades from shot to shot, a loud piano score, and interviewees mostly limited to New Englanders under eight years-of-age or over sixty, Virginia Lee Burton: A Sense of Place has the feel of one of those tepidly-innocuous videos that play on a loop in the gift shops of quaint small-town museums. Unremarkably, the two positive blurbs put on the DVD cover come from a principal adviser to the film and from the director of a quaint small-town museum, respectively.
Shot on standard video (1.33:1), the colors are exaggerated and the image lacks detail. Fortunately, dialogue is clear even when competing with the strident piano score. No subtitles are offered on this release.
Extras include a half-hour of additional scenes, the trailer, a filmmaker bio, and trailers for four other Docudrama releases.
Virginia Lee Burton: A Sense of Place is available individually or bundled with 11 other documentary releases in the Docudrama Film Festival, Volume 5 box set (MSRP $279.95).
