Milan Records has released a soundtrack album for the French drama The Stranger (L’étranger). The album features the film’s original music composed by Fatima Al Qadiri (Atlantics, Skincare, Seeking Mavis Beacon, The Grandmother). The soundtrack is now available to stream/download here, where you can also check out the track list. Also listen to the composer’s main theme after the jump. The Stranger is written and directed by François Ozon and stars Benjamin Voisin, Rebecca Marder, Pierre Lottin, Swann Arlaud and Denis Lavant. The movie is based on Albert Camus’ cult classic novel of the same title and follows an emotionally detached and quiet clark n living in 1930s colonial Algeria whose routine is shattered when his neighbor pulls him into shady dealings, culminating in a tragic event on a blisteringly hot beach. The drama, which premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival, is opening in French theaters today and has been picked up by Music Box Films for a domestic release in 2026.
