The Stranger

In French Algeria, 1938, a quiet and unassuming man named Meursault attends his mother's funeral without shedding a tear, setting the tone for a life of indifference and detachment. Weeks later, he commits a senseless murder, sparking a trial that delves into both the crime and his character. With its philosophical themes and detached narrative, The Stranger is an adaptation of Albert Camus's iconic novella, now brought to the screen with a talented cast and a nuanced direction by François Ozon.
