The Wachowskis’ and Tykwer’s  Cloud Atlas  indicates strong potential for an investigation into the advancement of transcultural messages in global cinema because of its conceptual commitment to narrate the story against the backdrop of sexuality, race, gender, and class. By combining critical discourse analysis (Foucault,  The Archaeology of Knowledge, Power/Knowledge ) with literary criticisms of postcolonial works (Hall, Hardt and Negri) and transcultural concepts of culture (Welsch,  The Puzzling Form of Cultures Today ; Rings,  The Other in Contemporary Migrant Cinema ), this paper investigates how far  Cloud Atlas  promotes transcultural identity constructs. Upon analysis of central themes and prominent characters  Cloud Atlas  transmits a message that if the aforementioned socio-cultural barriers can be overcome, we can cultivate something akin to a transcultural society. However, linkages to colonial discourse and quintessential cinematic conventions  vis-à-vis  white individualistic heroism demonstrate that  Cloud Atlas ’s liberal-humanist worldview is one that can ultimately be branded as compromised by monocultural assumptions of US values and ideals as superior.
