Kathryn Bigelow: Hollywood Adrenaline

Synopsis

For more than 40 years Kathryn Bigelow has been making films that explore male violence. With movies like Blue Steel, Point Break, The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, the Oscar winning American filmmaker has impressed with hard-hitting moviemaking that holds a mirror up to contemporary America and the world.

A discreet, even reclusive woman, Kathryn Bigelow has given few interviews, has never talked about her life, and has always hidden behind her films. So it's in the material of her work that this movie sets out to find her.

It's an invitation to spend an hour in the company of those who have made Kathryn Bigelow's films: producers, cinematographers, actors, screenwriters, to shed light on one of the most singular gazes in American cinema.

Invisible, unreachable, elusive, untraceable, unclassifiable... Her erasure, intentional or not, forces us to focus on her films, and her films alone. Ten feature-length films only, to be seen, reviewed, scrutinized and analyzed with his peers. From his first graduation film, The Set-Up, to Detroit, Point Break, Zero Dark Thirty, and Demineurs, we plunge into the substance of his work. Like explorers, we discover her own world as it unfolds before our eyes, and her vision of America.
