EPISODE 037: LESSONS IN FILM HISTORY (DIRECTORS)
Featuring: The Loveless (1981), Point Break (1991), Detroit (2017)
As a quasi-response to “Nashville”, this week’s WR&P podcast episode centers director Kathryn Bigelow and a trio of titles spanning her entire filmmaking career so far. Bigelow’s knack for rugged masculinity and right-leaning political views challenges the ways we consider gender and patriotism when it comes to discussing American filmmakers. In the post-”Hurt Locker” portion of her filmography, Bigelow settles firmly into the calling card of American mythology, or what Ryan describes as “bizarro Robert Altman”.
