Resumen: Cinema and the modern nation-state, both key offsprings of the late stages of the nineteenth century, have had a somewhat parallel, and arguably problematic, relationship throughout their existence. From being a committed partner in the spreading of the traditions and identities that cemented the formation of modern nation-states, cinema has become one of the most proli c media for the contestation of many of the xities that sustain them. My aim in this article is, rst, to explore the reasons and phenomena behind this change of perspective and, second, to apply this analysis to the speci c case of Roman Polanski’s lm The Ghost Writer (2010). For this purpose, I will analyse the lm from a transnational perspective at different levels, exploring its portrayal of the decayed condition of the modern nation-state, its depiction of the exiled foreigner as a universal trope for contemporary identities, and its careful use of space and mise-en-sce`ne for the transmission of these meanings.
