What would you do with 18 minutes left before the end of the world? That question ignites "A House of Dynamite," a pulse-pounding new thriller from director Kathryn Bigelow and writer-producer Noah Oppenheim that dramatizes the unthinkable: the countdown between nuclear launch and annihilation. Told in real time, the film locks viewers inside the corridors of power as a U.S. president, military advisors, and intelligence officials face the impossible decision to retaliate or die trying. The result is an unbearably tense and disturbingly plausible experience that plays less like Hollywood fiction and more like a documentary from the edge of civilization. The film hits Netflix on October 24 . On this episode of The Discourse , host Mike DeAngelo sits down with Noah Oppenheim , who discusses crafting the film’s chilling realism, his creative partnership with Kathryn Bigelow , and how his background as a journalist and former NBC News president informed his approach to humanizing institutions we normally only see as faceless power structures.

Kathryn Bigelow nació en San Carlos, California, el 27 de noviembre de 1951. A pesar de sus prometedores inicios como pintora y artista visual, Bigelow debutó en el cine en 1982 con la película de culto «The Loveless», interpretada por un joven Willem Dafoe. En 1987, consiguió un notable reconocimiento con su segunda película, «Near Dark. Los viajeros de la noche», un film de corte fantástico y temática vampírica. Pero el impulso definitivo llegó con su cuarta producción, «Point Break» («Le llama Bodhi»), un fabuloso thriller de acción protagonizado por Keanu Reeves y Patrick Swayze. Entre sus películas más reconocidas se encuentran, también, «Días extraños», «La noche más oscura», «Detroit» o «En tierra hostil», que le permitió ser la primera mujer que gana el Oscar en la categoría de mejor directora. La directora californiana está considerada un referente actual en el cine de acción por su estilo magnético y su nervio narrativo.

Join us for a discussion of Kathryn Bigelow's most adrenaline-fueled features, Point Break (1991) and The Hurt Locker (2008).

Along with director, writer, and musician Aviv Rubinstien , we trace the recurring themes of her films, her varied visual styles, and hone in on her aversion of being referred to as a Female Director. She is a Director, point break.
