The Stranger

Algiers, 1938. Meursault, a quiet employee and solitary settler in his early thirties, attends his mother’s funeral without shedding a tear. The following day he begins an affair with Marie, a colleague, and soon falls back into his ordinary routine. However, his quiet existence is disrupted when his neighbour Raymond Sintès involves him in shady dealings. Then, on a blistering summer day, a mysterious violent event occurs on a beach.
François Ozon’s striking adaptation of Albert Camus’ novel, which premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival, offers a piercing exploration of human absurdity in colonial times.
