November 4 - The Stranger (2025, François Ozon) - Streaming on: Amazon Prime, Google Play, Fandango, YouTube

In 1938 French Algeria, Meursault drifts through life with quiet detachment until his neighbor Raymond draws him into a series of events that culminate in a fatal confrontation on a sun-drenched beach. As he stands trial, Meursault's indifference comes to define his fate as much as his actions. Adapted from the Camus classic.
