In contrast to these faith-based pictures comes The Stranger, a film adaptation of Albert Camus’s existential novel. The Devil Smokes (and Saves the Burnt Matches in the Same Box) centres on five siblings dumped on their chaotic grandmother by parents caught up in the fervour surrounding Pope John Paul II’s Mexican visit. A mix of road movie, metaphysical allegory, and ceremonial, it invites viewers to listen to what the Spirit is saying to us.
