greg s Apr 12 I thought it was a brilliant telling of Camus story, but with a sensuality I had not considered. See more Simon Apr 12 Beautifully filmed. Excellent acting. And, importantly, faithful to the book. See more Melissa Apr 11 Hypnotic retelling of Camus novella. See more Michael Apr 4 Great retells by of Camus’s novel. Acting was superb and I am a huge Ozon fan. See more Howie B @Howie10 11h A true highlight of the recent Alliance French Film Festival. This adaptation of the work of Camus had the feel of a Fassbinder movie for me. Why it invoked a surrealist mindset which reminded me of Brad Davis in ‘Querelle’ I’m not too sure, but it did (in a pleasant way).

This film pretty accurate according to the text but the film made more sense. This so attractive young man is guillotined (I guess) for the murder of an Arab in Algeria, It is clearly said that the death of an Arab is nothing at that time. OK, and I think I saw the Arabic man produce a knife which was the trigger for the gun. Maybe I am wrong. What is his state of mind! I think he had a good advocate and a good priest with whom he finally bursts his mind. He smiles when his girlfriend suggests they marry, more and more. Is he so outside the world? He finally says he regrets his mother's death yet he knows that he is condemned because he did not cry at his mother's funeral. I understand the film better than the book.
