The superb new film from multi-award winning writer/director François Ozon, The Stranger is a gripping adaptation of Albert Camus’ landmark novella about a detached young expat under trial for murder in French-colonised Algeria. Set in a blistering hot summer in 1938, and with a stunning cast, this received four César Award nominations.
Visually resplendent with sensuous black-and-white images, Ozon’s masterfully realised film shines a contemporary lens on Camus’ classic tale of dissociation and morality. Must-see French cinema of the highest order.
