Les Vies d'Albert Camus plot
"A struck hero. An interrupted fate. This is how Albert Camus is told, 60 years after his disappearance, by Philippe Torreton in the film by Georges-Marc Benamou. At ground level, in order to see him revive, move, love and fight."
Albert Camus died on January 4, 1960 at the age of 46, barely two years after winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. The author of one of the most famous novels in the world - L'Étranger (The Stranger) - already had several lives on it: in addition to being a writer, he was also the philosopher of the absurd, resistance fighter, journalist and theater maker. This documentary aims to create a picture of Camus as he really was on the basis of witness reports and restored and colored archive images.
