In Meek’s Cutoff (2010) and Eden (2012), filmmakers Kelly Reichardt and Megan Griffiths (respectively) negotiate the interconnection between women, nature, and patriarchal capitalism through their emphasis on place, or one’s separation from it. Ecofeminist aesthetics resonate with regional production when directors emphasize relationships with environments and people over typical neoliberal concerns of production such as cost and infrastructure. A particular political aesthetics emerges when the approach emphasizes building community and the politics of place, rather than the bottom line. Reichardt’s Meek’s Cutoff shifts from the panoramic landscape shots of the classical Western to allow gendered engagement. This framing redirects the viewer away from the supposedly “male” action and instead focuses on the constant work of the women, which is the real action of survival. In Eden, Griffiths similarly frames human trafficking victim Hyun Jae in closed spaces where she is forced into sex work. Such cinematography is drastically juxtaposed with the open framing that signals potential emancipation. In each film, feminist politics intertwine with aesthetics of space to resist patriarchal capitalism co-opting women’s labor, an approach relevant to both environmentalism and feminism.

This essay employs Anthropocene frameworks to examine United States independent director Kelly Reichardt’s quiet vignettes of American precarity through the interpretive cinematic apparatus. Reichardt’s slow style and lingering gaze are primarily read as affective interpretations of human exhaustion or as a critique of capital temporalities. However, the critical attention paid toward the human in Reichardt’s films overlooks the primacy of landscape as a site of knowledge in the visual aesthetic. It is the entanglement between the human and the landscape in Reichardt’s films that invites an Anthropocene reading based on core concepts of time, scale, and the disruption of the modernist nature/culture binary. In Old Joy (2006) and Wendy and Lucy (2008), local, global, and planetary scales are made explicit and conflict with human structures such as gender and neoliberal economies. Reichardt’s work explores the manufactured landscape of Oregon and the Florida Everglades (respectively) in Night Moves (2013) and River of Grass (1994), pointing toward larger structural issues at play in traditional conservationism and narratives of progress. Finally, in her Western-influenced films Meek’s Cutoff (2010) and Certain Women (2016), Reichardt’s use of environmental sound provides the critique of American expansionist ideology’s depiction of and attempt to consume Indigeneity. Taken together, Reichardt’s filmography presents a compelling case for cinema’s role as mediator of the Anthropocene crisis.
本文运用人类世的框架，通过阐释电影的工具来审视美国独立导演凯利·赖克哈特对美国不稳定的安静的小插曲。Reichardt缓慢的风格和挥之不去的凝视主要被解读为对人类疲惫的情感解释或对资本时间性的批判。然而，在莱切特的电影中，对人的批判性关注忽视了景观作为一种知识场所在视觉美学中的首要地位。在莱切特的电影中，正是人类与景观之间的纠缠，引发了一种基于时间、规模和现代主义自然/文化二元对立的核心概念的人类世解读。在《旧欢乐》(2006)和《温蒂与露西》(2008)中，地方、全球和行星尺度被明确地表达出来，并与性别和新自由主义经济等人类结构发生冲突。Reichardt的作品分别在2013年的《夜移》(Night Moves)和1994年的《草之河》(River of Grass)中探索了俄勒冈州和佛罗里达大沼泽地(Everglades)的人造景观，指出了传统环保主义和进步叙事中更大的结构性问题。最后，在她受西方影响的电影《米克的断线》(2010年)和《某些女人》(2016年)中，莱切特对环境声音的使用对美国扩张主义意识形态对土著的描述和企图消费提出了批评。综上所述，赖哈特的电影为电影作为人类世危机的调解人的角色提供了一个令人信服的案例。
