Abstract

This paper analyzes Anh Hung Tran’s film, The Scent of Green Papaya. The film is characterized by its “Oriental” setting. However, this paper aims to challenge this idea by adopting a transcultural perspective. It looks deep into the lens languages and cultural identity, mainly focusing on two aspects of transcendence, namely transcendence of geographical space and women’s roles. This film is not only an essential product of a multi-cultural world but also a feasible and meaningful practice in cultural communications and globalization. Tran created new status and forms for the hybrid cultural product by utilizing his transcultural identity and tolerant, positive, and active cultural awareness. He went beyond individual perspectives and his national background, mixing Vietnamese and French cultures through a metaphorical lens and showing cultural conflicts from a relatively subjective position. Tran’s films inspire people to face the challenges in transcultural communication and deal with cultural conflicts in a harmonious way.
