One thing no-one ever ponts out is that Ms Bigelow - whose work on Point Break and others is astonishingly good from the visual angle - married perhaps THE number one visual master of film  James Cameron in 1989...  three years before she made Point Break;  one can surmise that behind every successful man is a woman - but it perhaps works the other way too when one's husband is Cameron. How much of her bona fides came from that  relationship? We'll never know, but it is a valid question to be asked. I like her work and respect it. But would she be as good as she is without the link to Cameron?  That is a more interesting question than all the retrospectives one wishes to do. But of course, in today's "we need more women Directors in Business and Hollywood" -no-body is going to go there.
