The details of this trip through Irish's beautiful country castles and houses has the possibility of being truly beautiful. But the quality of the 1993 Videotape (and whatever production techniques they used to make the video) makes it not so enjoyable. It is flat, unable to capture color or dimension, leaving everything unidimensional and greyish. What is left is not able to capture Ireland's incredible vibrancy and shimmering color. It is actually depressing to see. The highlight is Angelica Huston's narration. She's one of the best and most intelligent readers in the business (from one of the most gifted families in America--or in her case, from Ireland). You end up wishing she could have done some of the narration on your audio books.
