François Ozon returns with a career-best work, an exquisite adaptation of Albert Camus’s classic existential novel, which premiered in competition at the Venice Film Festival. Shot in crisp black and white, the film is a masterful interpretation, reconstituting some of the novel’s themes for the modern era.
Set in 1938 Algiers, Meursault (played by the mesmerising Benjamin Voisin) is a quiet and unassuming man in his early 30s. Upon finding out his mother has passed, he attends her funeral without so much as shedding a tear. The next day, he begins a casual affair with Marie (Rebecca Marder), whom he has known for a while. He quickly slips back into his usual routine, but his daily life is soon disrupted by his neighbour, Raymond Sintès (Pierre Lottin), who draws Meursault into his shady dealings. Completely indifferent to his relationships and interactions, both socially and romantically, Meursault allows himself to be guided by whatever is happening around him in the moment. One hot summer’s day, when this impassiveness leads to a tragic event involving a local Algerian man, we learn that nothing will sway Meursault from his philosophical point of view.
Ozon’s retelling brings the contradictions and hypocrisy of the French colonial project into sharper focus, while maintaining the original novel’s spirit of philosophical provocation.

Soviet Union, 1937. Under Joseph Stalin’s tyrannical regime, detainees falsely accused by the administration try in vain to send letters out of prison. Instead, they are burned in a prison cell by the thousands. Against all odds, one letter escapes, reaching its intended destination at the office of the newly appointed local prosecutor, Alexander Kornyev.
Kornyev arrives at a prison in Bryansk holding Stepniak, an Old Bolshevik and local party stalwart imprisoned by the NKVD, the agents of the secret police. After many obstacles, Kornyev is granted a visit with Stepniak, whose letter accuses the local authority of widespread corruption. A dedicated Bolshevik of integrity, Kornyev is duty-bound to investigate these allegations, leading him on a quest for justice that will take him all the way to the office of the Attorney General in Moscow. In the age of the great Stalinist purges, his journey plunges him into the depths of the totalitarian regime and into the clutches of the dangerous characters who aim to maintain its domination.
