Picks of the Week 3
Warren Miller Wintervention
|
January 05, 2011 | 03:13 PM I wonder if the prehistoric Nordic progenitors of skiing would ever have imagined that centuries into the future, their sticks-and-poles mode of transport would become the elite/extreme winter sport it is today? Unlikely—they were too busy munching filet de renne (i.e. Internet French for "reindeer tenderloin"). But they'd get it pretty quickly if they took in the work of Warren Miller, whose latest (and 61st!) film, Wintervention, which, per thre press releases, asks: "Do you have a skiing or snowboarding problem? Do you always have to take 'just one more' run? Do you sneak around your partner to get your powder fix?" My only problem isn't with the drug insinuation, but the fact that this film will in no way curb your enthusiasm. No. This is your dealer's dealer's dealer—in high-definition— dangling in front of your face the chased-dragon caught and hung by its tail. Because in case you missed it, this is a Warren Miller film, and if you don't know Warren Miller, you don't know winter sports. So dear, deprived Mauians, check out this showcase of "skiers who sail from Argentina to Antarctic searching for some of the last untouched descents on Earth." And if you're ready to start dabbling... 242-7469, mauiarts.org, skinet.com/warrenmiller
