Visconti, like Camus, realizes that the meaning of The Stranger is not to be found in the plot but in the mood. The mood is ennui, the dominant emotion of a man who hardly cares enough to tell his own story.
April 7, 2015 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… -
Visconti's film of The Stranger follows the action of the novel with hardly a comma missing -- and therein lies both its strength and its weakness.

The result is a totally schematic vulgarization of Camus' philosophical treatise in novel form.

Because The Stranger deserves so much more, it is all the more disheartening to see an effort so painstakingly loyal wash out as a mere story line.

It's a stroke of genius that nothing in "Lo Straniero" feels scripted, not even Meursault's final confession.
May 7, 2020 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… -
Literature and cinema - incompatible but habitual bedfellows - are fused flawlessly in this adaptation of Camus' existentialist masterpiece.

Audience Reviews for The Stranger

Oct 25, 2013The fact that this is an extremely faithful, line-by-line adaptation is ironically the problem with this film, especially considering Mastroiani's off-the-mark, far-from-nuanced composition. Besides, Visconti's cheap direction doesn't help with all the horrible zooms and inept lighting.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Oct 26, 2010I see that I'm the only person to have watched this on RT, and that doesn't come as a surprise. Though the director (The Leopard) and the lead actor (8 1/2, La Vida Dolce) are renown Italian filmmakers, I wasn't able to find this films anywhere except on YouTube and with English dubbing. Anyway, The Stranger is a classic novella by Nobel-Prize Winner Albert Camus which I have read twice and has become my favorite book. I've read all of Camus's other works (The Plague, The Fall, Myth of Sisyphus, Exile and the Kingdom), and since then I have been anticipating the day that I would have the time to watch this film. So I finally got around to watching it, and it was pretty awkwardly put together and not worth the wait. It's late and I need to go to bed, but I have a paragraph of notes about what I'll write about in my review tomorrow. 70/100Simeon D Super Reviewer
