Kathrin Bigelow

Director

Kathryn Bigelow (born 1951) is an American film director known for films such as The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty. She has directed work across action, thriller and war genres.

First woman to win the Academy Award for Best Director (for The Hurt Locker).

The available review criticizes Zero Dark Thirty for nationalist messaging, questions around torture, and the film's moralization of revenge. The reviewer references The Hurt Locker and frames Bigelow's film as pandering to patriotic sentiment. The tone is polemical and confrontational.

For:Readers interested in political and war films, film criticism, and debates on ethics and nationalism in cinema.

 "The Hurt Locker" was a rather ignoble operation to move the American audience who are easily brought to tears by those who "serve our beloved Country."
