François Ozon’s sterling adaptation of Albert Camus’ landmark novel is a gripping account of human absurdity in 1930s French-colonised Algeria.

It is a hot summer day when Meursault (Benjamin Voisin) learns about his mother’s passing. What follows is a series of events leading to a tragedy on the beach the will lead us to question his intentions and moral standing... 

Shot with a muted palette and featuring understated performances, Ozon superbly captures Meursault’s stillness, passivity and lack of compassion, making us witnesses to his sociopathy.
