L’Étranger
2025, François Ozon

The classic of modern French cinema brings Albert Camus’ eponymous novel to the screen.

T

1938. The French flag still flies over the government building in Algiers, but far from the metropolis, the heat is rapidly building up. In this environment, Meursault discovers his own emptiness—and his own dispassion. After spending the day at his mother’s funeral, he dissolves his tomorrow into bliss and passion with the first woman he meets. Soon he will pull the trigger and find himself in prison—but how will it differ from his alienated everyday life?

Shot from The Stranger, 2025

This is one of Ozon’s most strikingly beautiful films to date.
