"Two modern day teenagers find themselves trapped in Pleasantville, a black and white 50's TV series - and set off a revolution [c.f. packaging]."
"David, naïf et rêveur, s'évade au quotidien grâce à "PLEASANTVILLE", un sitcom des années 50. Là-bas, tout est bonheur, calme et simplicité. A l'opposé, sa soeur jumelle Jennifer, impertinente et branchée, vit à fond son époque. Un soir, un étrange réparateur de télévision leur donne une télécommande qui les projette dans l'écran ! Les voilà obligés de vivre à PLEASANTVILLE, en noir et blanc, dans un monde d'un autre temps. Mais Jenny n'entend pas de se soumettre à cette vie bien trop tranquille. Et bientôt, c'est PLEASANTVILLE qui se détraqure !."
"Der gegenwartsscheue David und seine keckere Schwester Jennifer werden ins fiktionale Universum der 50er-Jahre-TV-Serie "Pleasantville" katapultiert. David fühlt sich hier geborgen, aber Jennifer bringt die biederen Jungs von damals auf Touren. Leidenschaft und Farbe halten in der Schwarzweiss-Welt Einzug, so dass es zu Revolution und Reaktion kommt. Clevere und vielschichtige Satire über konservatives Nostalgie-Denken und die Furcht vor der Freiheit, die trotz einiger Logik-Löcher unterhaltsamer ist und noch mehr Denkanstösse bietet als Peter Weirs verwandte "Truman Show".

"Twin siblings David and Jennifer couldn't be more different: she curses, smokes, and sleeps around; David is a prototypical nerdy outcast. Then, one dark and stormy night, they're sucked into the TV and Pleasantville: a perfect suburban Disneyland suffused with church-social niceness and Rotary Club boosterism. Jennifer despises it all. So, like a pint-size Lauren Bacall, she refuses to play the role of poodle-skirted good girl and introduces one of the boys to sex, after which this bland, black and white world magically begins changing into color. Through the combined forces of sex and rock 'n' roll, it becomes clear that the things that make life worth living--passion, knowledge, and love--are far removed from safety, stability, and bland sterility. Before too long, the whole town is wondering: what's outside Pleasantville?"@en
