more context than a review
Reviewing isn’t really my thing. However, it seems that some information about this film, information that was only fully told when the film was restored in 2001, isn’t easily accessible in English. So, here’s the rundown:1- during the long gestation of the project (from 1962), Visconti was often tempted to underscore the political side of the novel; this was shot down by the Camus family.
2- the first choice to play Meursalt was Alain Delon, but negotiations fell apart. In came Mastroianni, who offered to make the movie for half his usual pay. There was no way producer De Laurentiis would say no.
3- Visconti had envisioned a flashback structure to the film, with different viewpoints. The Camus widow imposed a writer of her choice (Roblès) to ensure literal faithfulness to the novel.
4- at this point Visconti tried to walk out, but he was bound to make this film by contract, and had to despite losing all enthusiasm. He was to remember it as his worst film.
Now for the vote. It is professionally done, and while Marcello gives a completely different take on Meursalt from the book – close your eyes and imagine young Delon instead – he gives it his best. A sufficient effort, if one does not think of what it could have been.
A great challenge for Luchino Visconti.
The stranger is very famous novel of the French literature writen by Albert Camus who tells the story of the murder of a man and then the arrest and the trial of his murderer.To adapt this novel for the cinema is a great challenge , at first sight the story seems easy to understand, but later we can hardly understand why Arthur Meursault killed the young Arab , why he doesn’t try to defend himself. The film directed by Luchino Visconti is really a good adaptation of that novel and Marcello Mastroianni ‘s performance is excellent.
