Tulip Fever
Now Playing!
Set against the backdrop of the 17th-century Tulip Wars, a married noblewoman (Alicia Vikander) has an affair with an artist (Dane DeHaan) and switches identities with her maid to escape the wealthy merchant she married. She and her lover try to raise money together by investing what little they have in the high-stakes tulip market.
Under close analysis, none of this elaborate subterfuge makes much sense, but the film is so polished in its technical proficiency that I found the absence of logic forgivable.

Warren Miller’s Line of Descent
Plays October 18th & 19th!
Tickets go on sale September 12th!
For 68 years, ski families have cheered on the official kickoff to winter with the ski film company that started it all and this year is no different. This fall, don’t miss Volkswagen presents Warren Miller’s Line of Descent. If there’s one thing Warren Miller Entertainment has learned in seven decades of making ski films, it’s that snow riders are a family—one big tribe comprised of many smaller ones. Familial rites are passed down through generations. Skier roots grow deep in high mountain soil. As the family grows, the traditions grow richer. And this year is deeper and fresher than ever.
This year, venture through Glacier Country by dogsled and chase winter along the Beartooth Highway all the while exploring the ties that bind ski culture. Join your tribe and cheer on the official kickoff to winter with the ski film company that started it all.
