The Stranger: French with English Subtitles

Set in French‑ruled Algiers in 1938, The Stranger follows Meursault, a man drifting through life with an unsettling emotional distance. He does not weep at his mother’s funeral and slips into a love affair with the same cool detachment. But on a scorching afternoon at the beach, a violent encounter shatters his calm façade and forces society to confront his indifference.

François Ozon brings a contemporary sensibility to Albert Camus’ landmark existential novel L’Étranger, filming in striking black and white to evoke a world simmering with tension and moral ambiguity.
