Video:

The 1996 feature gets very little in terms of restoration or clean up. The video transfer (1.78:1, anamorphic) is grain-riddled, betraying its age, budget and priority. The colors fare slightly better, but are still disappointingly muted. Some scenes even appear slightly out-of-focus.

Video:

The 2.0 audio track is solid, with the dialogue – the obvious star of any Shakespeare adaptation – always clear. The wonderful score comes across very well despite the technical limitations imposed on 2.0 transfers.

Extras:

There is a nine-minute behind the scenes featurette that goes for a you-are-there feel – no narration, just a camera filming the shoot. There are also short interviews with all the major players and Nunn.

Final Thoughts:

While not a reference-quality desk, nor a definitive, special features laden disc, Twelfth Night does the most important work of getting one of the great adaptations of one of Shakespeare's finest comedies onto a 21st century format. For that fact alone, this disc is highly recommended.
