François Ozon’s lusciously beautiful adaptation of Camus’ novella interrogates empire and race with a violent undertow.
In 1930s Algeria, the life of an indifferent Frenchman is shaken by the death of his mother and a fateful encounter on a beach. François Ozon's glorious take on Albert Camus' masterpiece L'Etranger, cleverly captures this existentialist classic through a modern political lens. The Stranger is as intriguing to mull over as it is beautiful to look at.
**** "Lustrously beautiful and superbly realised modern take on the Camus classic", Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
**** "Ozon takes on the famous existential novella with a stand-out performance by lead Benjamin Voisin", The Standard
