Existentialist Meursault (Marcello Mastroianni) murders an Arab in cold blood for no reason other than that he feels he should. Meursault is a man who does not become involved in others' lives, and takes responsibility only for his own actions in this world. He believes that life has no meaning other than being true to oneself. This excellent film examines the consequences of such a philosophy.
