The Innocent

When Abel learns that his impulsive mother Sylvie is re-marrying to an inmate she met whilst teaching theatre in prison, he's more than uncomfortable. Abel's protective streak kicks in, and with the help of his best friend Clémence, he begins tailing his new stepfather's mo­vements. Their amateur sleuthing is quickly uncovered by Michel and triggers an unlikely business proposition for them both.

Critic Reviews:

• " Both a terrific black comedy and tension-filled crime caper… " – James Croot (Stuff.co.nz)

• " This film has enchanting performances and greater depths and fewer cliches than it could easily have slipped into. " – Dulcie Pearce (The Sun, UK)

• " Garrel’s The Innocent deftly mixes comic family melodrama with genre thrills in this pacy, emotive thriller with a killer cast. " – Christopher Machell (CineVue)
