Rating:  - ROMERO, ROMERO...WHERE FOR ART THE REMASTER??
I bought the movie because I'm enamored by Latin history and culture, especially in Central America in the 70's and 80's. The movie is great!! But as a DVD it is less than adequate. It's obviously mastered from an average-grade video (cassette?). It's that marginal, quality-wise. If ever it is properly remastered I will repurchase it and give my current copy away.

Rating: - Romero
This inspiring film is carried by the powerful portrayal by Raul Julia of the courageous archbishop of El Salvador , Oscar Romero who was assassinated by the military junta supported, armed and funded by the US.
The film shows a reluctant hero who is catapaltedfrom political complacency with the exploitative ruling class into an outspoken voice for the persecutedpoor of El Salvador.
The ultra-conservative Romero was chosen to be archbishop by theVatican because he was expected to ... Read More
