When Orsolya oversees the eviction of a local elderly man in Cluj, Transylvania, the unintended consequences come to shatter her and her understanding of her place in society. Spiraling into an existential crisis, she traverses the city, meeting with various people in her life -- her husband, an old friend, her former student, a priest -- to consider and reconcile her place in an increasingly maddening modern world in award-winning filmmaker Radu Jude's latest furious and hysterical moral parable. Anchored by a standout performance from Eszter Tompa, KONTINENTAL '25 infuses caustic satire with warm humor and subtle drama.

Photographed in sterling, sensuous black-and-white, François Ozon’s new take on Albert Camus’s classic novel of existentialist ennui is a landmark of adaptation, simultaneously faithful to the text and dedicated to discovering fresh perspectives in the margins. Meursault (Benjamin Voisin) works as a clerk at an office in Algiers during the French colonial occupation. Meursault finds his routine upended by the sudden death of his mother. As Meursault gets swept up in a cycle of escalating reprisals among his neighbors, tensions come to a head with a fateful encounter on the beach.
