• Resumen

  • Certain contemporary film stars encapsulate the concept of transnational culture in particularly powerful ways. This is the case of Marion Cotillard and Diane Kruger. Both actors have crossed the Atlantic on many occasions through their film roles. Their star personae are constituted, to a great extent, as a result of these multiple journeys. In different ways, the two have become cinematic embodiments of the recent history of Europe and the centrality of borders and border crossings in the idea of Europe and the various crises undergone by the continent in recent decades. This talk focuses on the two stars’ trajectories in the 2010s and frames the analysis within the concept of transnational cinemas and theories of the border.
