This article discusses the role of the fictionalization of intelligence in the history of European transnationalism. It focuses on the boom of spy films co-produced in continental Europe in the 1960s, examining how their materialization implied large-scale transnational processes of production and distribution. It argues that, although this dimension shaped the films’ form and content, their plots continued to reproduce and reify notions of raison d’état, national security, and geopolitics. Yet, while cinema enacted enduring tensions between national and transnational identities, it framed such tensions as a displaced fantasy, thus conciliating them with the evolving political imagination of European integration
