Beyond The Bound

Since the 1990 s,trans-cultural films that transcend the traditional National Cinema boundaries have increasingly become a major trend of global films.Distinguish from trans-cultural film research before,which emphasis on differences and antagonism.This new kind of trans-cultural films in the new era increasingly presents a trend which is amalgamation and dialogue between different regions and cultures.Therefore,Australian academic Jane Mills proposed Sojourner Cinema this concept to define this kind of films.That also provides a new perspective for the film’s trans-cultural research.Under this trend,Hollywood is undoubtedly the world’s largest host country of Sojourner Cinema,but not all sojourner directors can achieve success in Hollywood.Villeneuve from Quebec,Canada certainly be one of the best among them.His four sojourner cinemas released so far-Prisoners,Sicario,Arrival,Blade Runner2049-are in the public praise and the box office has achieved double harvest.He continue to achieve new top film contracts like Dune and Cleopatra because of the outstanding achievements.He surely will continue his sojourner director career.To know typicality and empirical of Villeneuve’s Sojourner Cinemas is to know his sojourner practice of director and furthermore the nature and the expression of his sojourner cinemas.Therefore,this paper will focus on the expression of the relationship between "place" and "space" in his films,and explore the unique sojourner film style of the film that is “harmony in diversity”.
