Three by Kathryn Bigelow

Kathryn Bigelow’s early films are bracing fusions of kinetic genre thrills and potent social critique, probing cultural anxieties and questions of identity with style and intelligence to burn. The Loveless , her assured directorial debut, is a reinvention of the road movie, blending existential desolation with a sui generis exploration of American masculinity, while Blue Steel , carried by a pitch-perfect performance from Jamie Lee Curtis, similarly subverts genre conventions for a sophisticated feminist take on the police procedural. And Strange Days —making its streaming debut—pushes the boundaries of science fiction to dazzling effect in an exhilarating examination of technology, desire, and social entropy.
