The Stranger
In 1930s Algeria, the apathetic Meursault (Benjamin Voisin) shows total indifference to life.
His emotional detachment leads to a murder, followed by a trial that scrutinises both the crime and his character.
Based on the monumental work of literature by Albert Camus, Francois Ozon's The Stranger was selected for the o?cial competition at the Venice Film Festival where it was nominated for the Golden Lion. At the 51st C?sar Awards, Pierre Lottin won Best Supporting Actor, and Voisin was nominated for Best Actor. ?
?Fran?ois Ozon?s lustrously beautiful and superbly realised monochrome version of Albert Camus?s novella L?Etranger has an almost supernaturally detailed sense of period and place. It amounts to a passionate act of ancestor worship in honour of a renowned French artwork.?
