Overview
In 1967, Visconti came to Algiers for the filming of The Stranger with Mastroianni and Anna Karina. Camus, during his lifetime, had always refused to allow one of his novels to be brought to the screen. His family made another decision. The filming of the film was experienced in Algiers, like a posthumous return of the writer to Algiers. During filming, a young filmmaker specializing in documentaries GĂ©rard Patris attempts a report on the impact of the filming of The Stranger on the Algerians. Interspersed with sequences from the shooting of Visconti's film, he films Poncet, Maisonseul, BĂ©nisti and SĂ©nac, friends of Camus, in full discussions to situate Camus and his work in a sociological and historical context. âThe idea is for us to show people, others, ourselves as if they could all be Meursault, or at least the witnesses concerned to his drama.â
