| Showings |
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, a work colleague. He quickly slips back into his usual routine.
Making an engaging film about such a pathologically passive, unreflective and disengaged character is a challenge. Yet Ozon keeps us engrossed.
★★★★
François Ozon’s lustrously beautiful and superbly realised monochrome version of Albert Camus’s novella L’Etranger has an almost supernaturally detailed sense of period and place.
★★★★
