A respectful adaptation of Khaled Hosseini’s 2003 novel,The Kite Runner is dramatically and visually sumptuous. By the time it arrives at its final kite-flying scene back in the Bay Area, The Kite Runner, new dvd releases, has soared occasionally, but remains too grounded for its own good in the book from which it was supposed to spring. The narrative is a tapestry entwined from personal and political threads; the result is emotionally overwhelming.
