FFUK 26- The Stranger
Running time: 120 mins
Sixty years after Luchino Visconti, François Ozon has adapted a monumental work of literature for the screen, The Stranger by Albert Camus. The lead role of Meursault is taken by Benjamin Voisin, the breakout star from Summer of 85. In 1930s Algeria, the apathetic Meursault shows total indifference to life. His emotional detachment leads to a murder, followed by a trial that scrutinises both the crime and his character. Ozon has said: "The themes in the book could hardly be more topical: an emotionally absent hero detached from the world, confronting our mortality, the individual's quest for meaning in an increasingly alienating world." Official competition at the Venice Film Festival. Cast Benjamin Voisin, Rebecca Marder, Swann Arlaud, Pierre Lottin, Denis Lavant.
