Summary: Terrible
Comment: I've been looking for this title on video/DVD for more than a decade, and was very surprised to suddenly see it listed here at Amazon. Unfortunately, upon placing the disc in my player, my anticipation turned to extreme disappointment.
This "digitally remastered" DVD looks like it was transferred to the medium from a really old, faded and probably moldy VHS tape. The image is blurry, and the colors are washed out. The sound is quite tinny, as well.
Under no circumstances should you consider buying this title. It's practically unwatchable, and would be a waste of money.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Really bad video quality
Comment: Another reviewer has also said it, the video quality is truly bad, and makes the DVD nearly unwatchable. If you have not seen the film before, you will miss a great deal simply because of the poor video, the story will be very hard to follow.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Movie, bad DVD
Comment: I loved the book "The Bell Jar" and the movie would have been great as well, but the DVD was one of the worst transfers I've ever seen. The DVD looked like a vhs tape that had been played well beyond its usefull life. Some of the images were so unclear that you couldn't see facial expressions. Please realese a transfer that isn't one big blur.

Summary: Not Exactly Faithful to the Book---But Very Moving
Comment: There are three reasons to see this very moving, if not book-faithful adaptation:
1) Julie Harris
2) Marilyn Hassett
3) Because you love 70's Films about Mental Institutions ("I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" to name but two).

Summary: If you loved the book...
Comment: ...spare yourself this movie. I was so excited when I found out there was a movie, that I tracked down the VHS online. It was *really* disappointing. The acting was bland to bad, and it had almost none of the feel that made the book so enjoyable. The movie "Girl, Interrupted", while also a flawed translation, is a much better purchase if you're interested in this genre.

This stirring drama is based on the internationally best-selling autobiography by renowned poet Sylvia Plath. It is the story of a gifted young poet, Esther Greenwood, whose inner genius has trapped her in a private world of terror. Like author Plath, a
