Zusammenfassung:Utilises women's independent cinema to explore Simone de Beauvoir's notion of ambiguity in film experienceContributes to the growing field of feminist film-phenomenologyForegrounds Simone de Beauvoir's concept of ambiguity within women's cinema as a means to think through turbulent emotional experienceUses key feminist phenomenologies to consider independent women's cinemaPuts Beauvoir's ideas into conversation with contemporary women phenomenologists showing the range and reach of her ideas for film-philosophyIncludes diverse examples of films and filmmakersSimone de Beauvoir's notion of ambiguity became a cornerstone of her philosophy and influenced a radical rethinking of freedom well into the twenty-first century. In Ambiguous Cinema, Fuery examines Beauvoir's notion of ambiguity in relation to film experience, exploring both the legacies and limits of her existentialist ethics through a range of films by independent women filmmakers, including Joanna Hogg, Liliana Cavani, Debra Granik, Cheryl Dunye, Claire Denis, Lucrecia Martel, Lynne Ramsay and Céline Sciamma.In doing so, Fuery deftly demonstrates the currency and relevancy of Beauvoir's ideas to contemporary debates in film-philosophy and feminist thought by examining how these women filmmakers navigate turbulent themes such as moral choice, power, adolescence, love, trauma and motherhood. Reimagining Beauvoir's idea of ambiguity within the context of film studies, Fuery asks that we confront and embrace difficult emotional situations so that we might realise an authentic, if indeterminate, freedom through our cinematic experiences
