Actually "Hiroshima Mon Amour" does not only triangulate desire in terms of a relationship between France, USA and Japan. The French lady's former lover before the Japanese was a German. So you basically have a case of the Ally sleeping with the Axis powers of the 2nd World War.
Films with a global vision....do alien films, that is, films about alien invasion(or infection) of Earth fit in with the bill? I was thinking of David Fincher's direction of "Alien 3," which had a darker vision of the need to destroy oneself to be able to prevent the alien from feasting on one's inner organs like a parasite, as compared to the earlier two segments of the series, and also maybe "Alien Resurrection" by Jean-Paul Rappeneau, which has a quirky story of the alien host resurrected from genetic engineering techniques for the sake of recovering the alien for experiments. Earth in the fourth segment seems to be implied as a huge megalopolis keen on manufacturing the machines from which most of the crew on board the ship--a load of miscreants and mutant androids--are excluded from due to their marginal status.
