Abstract
The article presents an analysis of screen interpretations of the ideas of one of the most important representatives of existentialism, the French philosopher and writer Albert Camus, set out in his novel «The Plague» (1947). The situation of recent years, associated with a number of catastrophic events on a global scale, has actualized the ideas of philosophical existentialism. Using the example of several films embodying the ideas of A. Camus's novel «The Plague», the article shows the possibilities of their interpretation.
