He just made existentialist writing look that much cooler... Even if he denounced that he was labeled an existential writer, his literary works had a great deal of existential themes from the absurd to French thinking and philosophies of his era. Anytime I see a photo of the man you can't take away that he had a great sartorial flair... Well dressed in a suit and many times accompanied by a trench, always smoking a cigarette... A reflection and precursor of the French New Wave movement or someone who definitely shed some light and inspiration and ideas on to the film movement along with the other obvious forbearer; Italian neorealism... He can possibly be sighted for some looks too as some of Jean-Paul Belmondo's style can look relatable to Albert Camus in many scenes.
