Synopsis

Lo Straniero (The Stranger) (1967), Visconti's adaptation of Albert Camus's novel "L'Etranger", received mixed press on first release and has rarely been seen since. A man, a pied noir living in Algiers, hears the news of his mother's death in a home out in the country. While visiting a friend he points a revolver at and shoots dead an Arab who in a vague way is threatening his friends; he is arrested and condemned to death for murder. This action does not cohere as a plot but merely a succession of events, and the significance, in so far as they are significant, lies in their discontinuity.
