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.

During a weekend trip to the countryside, Laura, a young piano student from Berlin, miraculously survives a shocking car crash. Awakening in a nearby house, Laura finds herself in the care of a local woman, who tends to her with motherly devotion. As she recuperates, Laura begins to integrate herself into the lives of the woman and her initially reluctant husband and son. By turns haunted and hopeful, Laura and her adopted family reawaken to the world and come to find a strange harmony together. However, they cannot outrun the ghosts of the past, which begin to stir, as acclaimed director Christian Petzold (PHOENIX, TRANSIT) spins a modern gothic fairytale about the lies we tell ourselves and the strange ways that grief, connection, and humanity bind and sustain us. A hushed, enigmatic psychodrama, MIROIRS NO. 5 simmers with mystery and mood as Paula Beer's transfixing performance anchors its exploration of fractured identity.
