About this episode

Hope Hopkinson interviews director Francois Ozon about his film adaptation of Albert Camus' 'The Stranger'.

Hope Hopkinson talks to director Francois Ozon, about his new film, The Stranger. In 1930s Algeria, the apathetic Meursault (Benjamin Voisin) shows total indifference to life. His emotional detachment leads to a murder, followed by a trial that scrutinises both the crime and his character. Based on the monumental work of literature by Albert Camus, Francois Ozon's The Stranger was selected for the official competition at the Venice Film Festival and UK-premiered at the London Film Festival.
