THE STRANGER (15) 2h 2m

Dir: François Ozon

Cast: Benjamin Voisin, Pierre Lottin, Denis Lavant

Genre: Crime, Drama

François Ozon has adapted a monumental work of literature for the screen, The Stranger by Albert Camus.

In 1930s Algeria, the apathetic Meursault shows total indifference to life. His emotional detachment leads to a murder, followed by a trial that scrutinises both the crime and his character. Ozon has said: ‘‘The themes in the book could hardly be more topical: an emotionally absent hero detached from the world, confronting our mortality, the individual’s quest for meaning in an increasingly alienating world.” Shot with a muted palette and featuring understated performances, Ozon superbly captures Meursault’s stillness, passivity and lack of compassion, making us witnesses to his sociopathy.
