L'Étranger I The Stranger
Algiers, 1938. Meursault, a quiet and unassuming employee in his early thirties, attends his mother's funeral without shedding a tear. The next day, he begins a casual affair with Marie. He quickly slips back into his usual routine. However, his daily life is soon disrupted by his neighbor, who draws Meursault into his shady dealings. Until one blisteringly hot day, a tragic event occurs on a beach...
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."
