Her Zero Dark Thirty
got robbed at the Oscars, but you can console yourself by watching some of
Kathryn Bigelow's earlier films in this triple feature at ArtsEmerson. It
includes Blue Steel (1989; 1 pm), in
which Jamie Lee Curtis crushed Hollywood female stereotypes playing a cop out
to get a serial killer; Point Break (1991;
6 pm), a genre-scrambling thriller in which Keanu Reeves is cast against type
as an FBI agent who infiltrates a gang of surfing bank robbers; and The Weight of Water (2000; 9 pm), an
adaptation of the Anita Shreve novel, in which the lives of those investigating
a century-old murder intermingle with those of the people being researched.
