This talk addresses the ubiquitous global presence and popularity of crime cinema by analysing its capacity to express local, national or regional identities while at the same time being able to facilitate transborder cultural exchanges. Transculturalism is strongly embedded in this genre through both its ability to incorporate and process transnational influences (in terms of style, subgenres, and social criticism) and through its modes of production, cultural circulation, and critical understanding. Starting from an overview of European Crime cinema as a vehicle to address European transcultural identities, the talk will look at influences and exchanges between contemporary European and Asian productions to focus eventually on an analysis of Johnnie To's Vengeance (復仇, Hong Kong/France, 2009).
