The Stranger

François Ozon’s striking black-and-white adaptation of Albert Camus’ existential novel. A young Frenchman in 1930s Algeria navigates grief, detachment, and a world that expects meaning where he feels none. The next day after his mother's funeral, he begins a casual affair with Marie, a work colleague. He quickly slips back into his usual routine. However, his daily life is soon about to be disrupted by his neighbor, Raymond Sintès, who draws Meursault into his shady dealings ' until one blisteringly hot day, a tragic event occurs on a beach.
