| dc.description.abstract | <jats:p>This article examines representations of the road in the work of independent Florida-born film director Kelly Reichardt. Reading Reichardt's so-called Oregon trilogy,<jats:italic>Old Joy</jats:italic>(2006),<jats:italic>Wendy and Lucy</jats:italic>(2008), and<jats:italic>Meek's Cutoff</jats:italic>(2010), alongside radical anti-freeway and anti-automobile movements from the Pacific Northwest, I argue that Reichardt's films offer critical engagements with the subject of the American road, interrogating the freedom and emancipation from social constraint it purportedly offers.</jats:p> | |
