François Ozon brings Albert Camus’s *The Stranger* to the screen in a visually rigorous black-and-white adaptation starring Benjamin Voisin. Set in colonial Algeria, the film explores existential indifference, moral judgment, and the unsettling contradictions of a society more concerned with a murderer’s emotions than his victim. Meticulously crafted yet deliberately austere, Ozon’s adaptation captures the philosophical tensions of Camus’s novel while revealing the limitations of its own fidelity.
