Now Playing Alamo South Lamar
Advance tickets available here

VOGUE Czar Anna Wintour has become well-known to millions of readers and movie-goers as the inspiration for the fashion medusa editor-in-chief in THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. Here's a chance to see the real Miranda Priestly in action. Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

"An eye-opening, highly satisfying romp." - Boston Phoenix

"R.J. Cutler's vibrant and mischievous documentary THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE is only partly a movie about fashion. At its heart, it's really a movie about work, about the ways individuals compete with, grate against and inspire one another in the workplace." - Salon

"Vogue VIP Anna Wintour slinks through this highly entertaining verite documentary like a stoic, sunglasses-bedecked fetish doll." - Time Out New York

Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine for twenty years, is the most powerful and polarizing figure in fashion. Hidden behind her trademark bob and sunglasses, she has never allowed anyone to scrutinize the inner workings of her magazine. Until now.

Every August a record-breaking number of people can't wait to get their hands on the September issue of Vogue. The 2007 issue was and remains the biggest ever, weighing over four pounds, selling thirteen million copies, and impacting the $300-billion global fashion industry more than any other single publication. An intimate, funny and surprising look at Anna Wintour and her team of larger-than-life editors as they create this must-have Bible of fashion, Cutler explores the untouchable glamour of Wintour's Vogue to reveal the extraordinarily passionate people at its heart. He takes us behind the scenes at Fashion Week, to Europe, on shoots and reshoots, and into closed-door staff meetings, bearing witness to an arduous, entertaining, and sometimes emotionally demanding process.

At the eye of this annual fashion hurricane is the two-decade relationship between Wintour and Grace Coddington, incomparable Creative Director and fashion genius. They are perfectly matched for the age-old conflict between creator and curator. Through them, we see close-up the delicate creative chemistry it takes to remain at the top of the ever-changing fashion field.
