Kathryn Bigelow’s character study, The Hurt Locker has gotten nothing but rave reviews and attention since its debut last summer. And now the filmmaker is the darling of the industry thanks to a heap of awards and nomination including the nod for Best Picture and Director for the upcoming Oscar Awards.
It’s all about telling stories for Bigelow and she humbly credits world events (i.e. war) with the public reaction to her movie. We, of course, believe it’s her stellar skills, which she’s demonstrated time and again - though the material in the past never really quite measured up to her abilities (Blue Steel, Point Break, K-19 The Widowmaker).
Now the action director is hitting her stride and is taking in the well-deserved success - after over 30 years in the business.
