This theatrical powerhouse directed by Kathryn Bigelow struck a chord in illustrating our political landscape much like her last Best Picture winning effort The Hurt Locker did. With nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress in a Leading Role (Jessica Chastain), Best Original Screenplay – Writing, Film Editing and Sound Editing, she is solidifying her reputation as one of the most influential directors of all time. Justement Ethnic’s traditional Pakistani track Joyously Raise The Shout of Haider can be heard in the film.
