The Stranger
L’Étranger
Best Film, Lumière Awards 2026
In French with English subtitles
The latest film from acclaimed French director François Ozon (The Crime Is Mine, Frantz) is a faithful adaptation of Albert Camus’ iconic novel, in which an unassuming young man kills an Arab acquaintance in 1930s Algiers. Shot in pristine black and white.
★★★★★ “Set in 1940s French Algeria (and filmed in Morocco), François Ozon’s lustrously beautiful and superbly realised monochrome version of Albert Camus’ novella L’Étranger has an almost supernaturally detailed sense of period and place.” The Guardian
★★★★ “Ozon remains faithful to the source and keeps its sense of mystery, but has strengthened the female characters…” Eye For Film
