L'Étranger I The Stranger
In French Algeria, Meursault floats through life and love with mysterious detachment. When he stands accused of murdering an Arab man, indifference is his only alibi in François Ozon’s fresh take on Albert Camus’s classic novel.
Pierre Lottin won the Best Supporting Actor Award for his role as Raymond Sintès at the 2026 César Film Awards.
EXPERTS INSIGHTS
About "The Stranger"
"How comforting and how false... Ozon's detached, dreamily dissociated 'The Stranger' gives a glimpse... into the abyss."
Variety
"One of Ozon's richest and most satisfying works in years — that rarest of literary adaptations..."
TheWrap
"The most definitive film adaptation yet."
The Hollywood Times
"En choisissant le noir et blanc plutôt que la couleur, Ozon, d'entrée de jeu, nous plonge dans un environnement épuré, quasi abstrait, qui correspond à la dimension métaphysique et absurde du roman. La beauté solaire et aveuglante qui se dégage alors du film lui confère charme et magnétisme."
