Synopsis
The Innocent (L'Innocent, 2022) is a French crime comedy from Louis Garrel that you can watch online on iFILM — he directed it and plays the lead.
Abel gives tours at a Lyon aquarium and can't stop fretting: his aging mother has fallen for Michel, a charming ex-robber she married while he was still behind bars. Certain it will end badly, Abel ropes in his friend Clémence to tail his new stepfather. The seasoned crook clocks the surveillance in seconds — and offers the pair a shady deal that's hard to refuse.
Garrel blends tender romance with a heist and keeps the tone light where another director would lean on melodrama. Roschdy Zem, Noémie Merlan and Anouk Grinberg play it like they're inventing the scenes as they go. The film landed several César nominations. Warm, funny and unexpectedly moving — a perfect evening watch. Stream The Innocent (2022) online on iFILM.
