The Stranger
Algeria, 1938: Meursault (Benjamin Voisin), a young clerk, attends his mother’s funeral, during which he does not shed a single tear. Afterwards, he returns to his routine and begins a romantic relationship with his colleague, Marie (Rebecca Marder). However, Meursault’s quiet everyday life is soon disrupted by his neighbour Raymond (Pierre Lottin), who draws him into some shady dealings. One fateful day on the beach, a tragic event completely alters his life. This film adaptation of the classic existentialist novel and philosophical exploration of the absurdity of human existence premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
The Love That Remains
Set in rural Iceland, this film follows artist Anna and fisherman Magnus as they navigate the dissolution of their marriage while trying to maintain stability for their three children. Remarkably, the children are played by director Pálmason’s own real-life offspring.
French New Wave Film Cycle: Paris Belongs to Us
Jacques Rivette’s feature debut is one of the foundational, though often overlooked, films of the French New Wave. Although filming began in 1958 with the help of colleagues such as Truffaut and Chabrol, the film was not completed until after their celebrated debuts.
The plot centres on a literature student who becomes embroiled in a circle of bohemian intellectuals and artists through her brother. The main plot revolves around the mysterious suicide of a Spanish composer named Juan and a director's attempts to stage Shakespeare's play Pericles.
