Set in 17th-century Amsterdam during the height of "Tulip Mania," the film follows Sophia (Alicia Vikander), a young woman forced into marriage with a wealthy, struggling merchant (Christoph Waltz). When her husband commissions a portrait from a struggling young artist (Dane DeHaan), the two begin a passionate affair. As they plot to run away together, they become entangled in the risky, high-stakes tulip bulb market that is sweeping the city.
While the exact size of the POOP release varies slightly depending on the scene tracker, typical specs for Tulip.Fever.2017.1080p.BluRay.x264.AAC.5.1-POOP hover around 6.5 to 7.8 GB.
Let’s do the math:
This is the "Goldilocks zone." It is large enough to avoid macroblocking (try watching a torrent at 1.5GB—horrific), but small enough to fit on a FAT32 drive or stream over a standard home Wi-Fi network. For comparison, a remux (full disc copy) would be ~25GB. The POOP encode delivers 80-90% of the quality at 30% of the size.
While 4K has become mainstream, 1080p remains the gold standard for compatibility. This encode offers a native resolution of 1920x1080 progressive scan. Given that Tulip Fever was shot digitally on Arri Alexa cameras (mastered at 2K), a 1080p rip captures 100% of the film’s native detail. There is no resolution waste.

Before analyzing the file, we must understand the source material. Tulip Fever (2017) is the cinematic equivalent of a Dutch still-life painting gone wrong. Directed by Justin Chadwick and boasting a cast including Alicia Vikander, Dane DeHaan, Christoph Waltz, and Judi Dench, the film had a famously troubled production. This is the "Goldilocks zone
Shot in 2014 but shelved for three years due to disputes over the final cut and the Weinstein Company’s implosion, Tulip Fever arrived in theaters with the stench of failure. Critics panned it as melodramatic and historically dubious. Yet, for fans of lush period pieces, the film is a visual feast. The cinematography (by Eigil Bryld) captures the amber glow of 17th-century Amsterdam, and the costumes are immaculate.
The plot—a love triangle involving an artist, a married noblewoman, and a speculative bubble in tulip bulbs—is operatic nonsense. But that is precisely why the film demands a high-bitrate home release. You want to see every brushstroke on the painter’s canvas and every dewdrop on a rare Semper Augustus bulb.
