Short description
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.
What's left behind the scenes
- At one point, François Ozon was working on a film project consisting of three novellas. One of them was about a man who had become disillusioned with life and set no goals for himself. Benjamin Voisin was cast to play him. The project never materialized, but friends advised Ozon not to abandon the idea. Shortly thereafter, he reread Albert Camus's novel "The Stranger" (1942) and decided to adapt it for the screen, making the story of the character from the unrealized project—whom Voisin was meant to play—very timely. In Ozon's film, this actor played Meursault.
- Director, screenwriter, and producer François Ozon personally visited Catherine Camus, the daughter of Albert Camus (1913-1960, philosopher, journalist, writer, and publicist, credited as one of the screenwriters), who held the rights to all her father's works, and shared his vision for the future film. Ozon was very pleased that he was able to convince Camus and obtain permission to film, whereas other, more renowned directors had failed to do so.
