Special Screening of L’Étranger
We are pleased to offer our students the opportunity to attend a special screening of L’Étranger, directed by François
Ozon,
in partnership with the UPP Cinema and Dr Simon Kemp (University of Oxford), author
of Oxford Literature Companions: L'Etranger: study guide for AS/A Level. The event will take place at the Ultimate
Picture Palace
in Oxford on the:
8th of May, at 7:45pm - LONGER INTRODUCTION
12th of May at 5.15pm - INTRODUCTION + Q&A
Dr Simon Kemp will introduce the film, and the screening will be followed by a Q&A session (Q&A only on May 12th), offering valuable
insights into Albert Camus’s iconic novel L’Étranger.“Aujourd'hui, maman est morte. Ou peut-être hier, je ne sais pas.”
— these are some of the most famous opening lines in Francophone literature and mark the beginning of one of the seminal works of
existentialist fiction.
François Ozon’s adaptation has been described as "Une relecture contemporaine sublime et pertinente du classique d'Albert Camus
qui offre un rôle complexe et saisissant à Benjamin Voisin.”
L'adaptation de L'Étranger d'Albert Camus par François Ozon (sortie 2025) relate, dans l'Alger des années 30, l'histoire
de Meursault, un homme indifférent à la mort de sa mère et aux conventions sociales. Après avoir tué un homme sur une plage, il est
condamné à mort, moins pour son crime que pour son manque de sensibilité
