A sublime adaptation of Albert Camus’ landmark novella from multi-award winning writer/director François Ozon.
In 1930s Algeria, apathetic Frenchman Meursault shows total indifference to life. His emotional detachment leads to a murder, followed by a trial that scrutinizes both the crime and his character.
A gripping account of human absurdity elegantly captured in crisp black and white photography. Ozon has said: ‘‘The themes in the book could hardly be more topical: an emotionally absent hero detached from the world, confronting our mortality, the individual’s quest for meaning in an increasingly alienating world.”
