Ambiguity typically describes the condition of multiple meanings. But we can find multiple meanings in what appears unambiguous to us. So, what makes ambiguity ambiguous? This study argues that a sense of uncertainty is vital to the concept. Ambiguity is what presses us to inquire into our puzzlement over a movie, to persistently ask why is it as it is? Notably, this account of the concept is also an account of its criticism. It recognises that a satisfying assessment of what is ambiguous involves both our reason and doubt; that is, reason and doubt can work together in our practice of reading. This book, then, considers ambiguity as a form of reasonable doubt, one that invites us to reflect on our critical efforts, rethinking the operation of film criticism. 001433670 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from digital title page (viewed on February 11, 2021). 001433670 650_0 $$aFilm criticism. 001433670 650_0 $$aAmbiguity. 001433670 650_0 $$aAmbiguity in motion pictures. 001433670 650_6 $$aCritique cinématographique. 001433670 650_6 $$aAmbiguïté. 001433670 650_6 $$aAmbiguïté au cinéma. 001433670 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001433670 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030629449$$z9783030629441$$w(OCoLC)1198979027 001433670 830_0 $$aPalgrave close readings in film and television. 001433670 852__ $$bebk 001433670 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-62945-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001433670 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1433670$$pGLOBAL_SET 001433670 980__ $$aBIB 001433670 980__ $$aEBOOK 001433670 982__ $$aEbook 001433670 983__ $$aOnline 001433670 994__ $$a92$$bISE
