In the organizer's words:

With Benjamin Voisin, Rebecca Marder, Pierre Lottin, Swann Arlaud, Denis Lavant. Film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Albert Camus. Written, directed & produced by François Ozon. Original French version with German subtitles.

Meursault, a quiet, inconspicuous employee in his early thirties, attends his mother's funeral without any visible emotion. The next day, he begins an affair with his former colleague Marie and returns to his everyday life. However, this is soon disturbed by his neighbor Raymond, who draws Meursault into his shady dealings - until a fateful event occurs on a scorching hot day on the beach.

François Ozon's masterful reinterpretation of Albert Camus' literary classic of the same name is a virtuoso work of timeless relevance. Told in beguiling black and white images and carried by an exquisite ensemble around Benjamin Voisin, Rebecca Marder and Pierre Lottin, the film marks an artistic highlight in Ozon's multi-layered oeuvre. THE Stranger celebrated its acclaimed world premiere in competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival.
