Abstract Jackie (2016), Pablo Larraín’s biopic of Jacqueline Kennedy, is the first full-length feature film devoting serious attention to an American First Lady and the work she carries out. I argue that Larraín’s interpretation should be read as an endeavour to render visible a First Lady’s largely invisible work of image-making. Larraín’s subversion of biopic conventions combined with the use of estrangement devices enables him to posit a nuanced and complex interpretation of Jacqueline Kennedy and to lift the cinematic veil of invisibility obscuring her work. I close by considering the uniqueness and significance of Jackie, suggesting it has the potential to serve as an alternative, postmodern, and perhaps feminist, option for portraying women’s lives and labour.

“我只是在做我的工作”：第一夫人和巴勃罗·拉雷恩 (Pablo Larraín) 的杰姬 (2016) 中的政治神话制作工作

摘要 杰基 (2016) 是巴勃罗·拉林 (Pablo Larraín) 为杰奎琳·肯尼迪 (Jacqueline Kennedy) 拍摄的传记片，是第一部认真关注美国第一夫人及其工作的长篇故事片。我认为，拉雷恩的解释应该被理解为一种努力，使第一夫人在很大程度上不可见的图像制作工作可见。Larraín 对传记片传统的颠覆与疏远装置的使用相结合，使他能够对杰奎琳·肯尼迪进行细致入微和复杂的解释，并揭开掩盖她作品的电影隐形面纱。最后，我考虑了杰姬的独特性和重要性，暗示它有可能成为描绘女性生活和劳动的另一种、后现代的，也许是女权主义的选择。
