As part of the Princeton French Film Series, join us for an exclusive US Premiere screening of The Stranger (French: L'étranger) (2025) adapted from Albert Camus eponymous novel by award-winning filmmaker François Ozon who will be in attendance with actress Rebecca Marder (Comédie Française) for a special Q&A. In French and Arabic with English subtitles, this event will take place on Friday, March 6, 2026 from 7:00 PM. Open to everyone upon registration. Disclaimer: the film includes scenes with intimacy as well as tobacco and wine consumption. Synopsis: Adapted from Albert Camus' 1942 existentialist novella, The Stranger follows Meursault, an emotionally detached Frenchman living in 1930s colonial Algeria. After killing an Arab, Meursault's indifference to social norms and apparent lack of grief at his mother's funeral are scrutinized in minute detail during his trial. Virtuoso French director François Ozon's compelling take on Camus' chilling masterwork is extremely faithful in tone, yet enriched by his meticulous black-and-white mise-en-scène, his contemporary take on the story's colonial context, and his razor-sharp focus on Benjamin Voisin's starkly exquisite central performance. --- Event Details: https://my.princeton.edu/rsvp?id=1972441
