I think it's really interesting how this film adaptation of L'Étranger is tackling some pretty heavy themes that are still super relevant today 
. I mean, we're talking colonialism, racism, and the absurdity of human existence – it's like Camus's work was tailor-made to spark debate and discussion.
I've read the original novel and I can see why some people might be skeptical about Ozon's decision to give Djemila more screen time. I get where Catherine Camus is coming from, but at the same time, I think Ozon's got a point – the impact of colonialism on individuals and society is still felt today, and it's not like we're going to magically forget about it just because it happened 80 years ago
.
What really gets me is how Camus's work always seems to tap into this sense of unease and discomfort that we can't quite shake. It's like he's holding up a mirror to our own societies, highlighting all the things we might not want to see but need to confront anyway
. So yeah, I'm excited to see how this film plays out – it's definitely going to be an important conversation starter!

. It's like, you know how we talk about the classics and how they're still super relevant? Well, L'Étranger is one of those books that just makes you feel all sorts of emotions. The absurdity, the racism, the colonialism... it's all still so damn real today 
. But at the same time, I think that's what makes this film so interesting – it's not just a retelling of the original story, but an exploration of its themes in new ways 
.
. I mean, he's gone and given Djemila some major screen time which is a bold move considering the original novel barely mentions her 
. It's like Catherine Camus was right to feel a bit miffed about it, though. But hey, Ozon's clearly put his heart into this adaptation, and I love how he's chosen those black-and-white visuals and soundtrack vibes to set the tone for the film 
. ozon should've just stuck with the original script 
. btw, what's up with camus's daughter getting all upset over this? 
. seems like she's more invested in the fame of her dad than the actual art 
.
I mean, it's not just about some guy killing an Arab on a beach, it's about the systemic oppression that perpetuates itself across generations. 
what Ozon did was to humanize this story by giving Djemila more presence, but at the same time, he's also raising questions about whether that's even possible without altering the original narrative... does the act of representation itself become a form of erasure?
