Film – François Ozon
L’Etranger — English subs
In 1930s Algeria, the daily life of an indifferent Frenchman is shaken up by the death of his mother and a fateful encounter on a beach.
Algiers, 1938. Meursault, a quiet and striking man in his early thirties, attends his mother's funeral without shedding a tear. The next day, he begins an affair with his colleague Marie and quickly falls back into his daily routine. But his everyday existence is disrupted by his neighbor, Raymond Sintès, who draws Meursault into his shady dealings. Until, on a scorching hot day, a fateful event takes place on the beach... When Meursault appears in court, he seems to be judged not so much for his actions as for his emotionless demeanor.
Can someone be sentenced to death for not crying at his mother's funeral? L'Étranger is based on Albert Camus' world-famous 1942 novel, one of the best-selling French novels ever. The book was adapted for film by François Ozon (Swimming Pool) with the approval and supervision of Camus' daughter. The lead role of Meursault is played by Benjamin Voisin (Été 85), with Rebecca Marder, Pierre Lotin, Denis Lavant, and Swann Arlaud in other roles.
