When widowed marine biologist Abel (played by director Garrel) learns that his impulsive mum Sylvie is once again re-marrying \u2013 this time to an inmate she met whilst teaching theatre in prison \u2013 he\u2019s much more than uncomfortable. Doubting that convicted burglar Michel is capable of turning over a new leaf, Abel\u2019s protective streak kicks in, and so with the help of his best friend Cl\u00e9mence, he begins tailing his new stepfather\u2019s movements. Their amateur sleuthing is quickly uncovered by Michel and triggers an unlikely &#8211; and bold &#8211; business proposition for them both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joyfully paying homage to the great crime capers of the French New Wave, and partly inspired by events from his own life, Garrel\u2019s witty and beautifully constructed film is a delirious mix of comedy, romance, suspense and action, with several twists too good to spoil.&nbsp;Selected as the special Gala Screening to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival &#8211; where it drew a thunderously positive response &#8211; this hilarious, quintessentially French comedy aims to please and does so effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Few caper comedies have this much heart, and few romantic dramas offer such an appealingly nutty plot. &#8211; <\/em>Wall Street Journal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A humanistic story wrapped in a fun, punchy exterior, much like the French synth-pop music throughout its soundtrack.<\/em> \u2013 New York Times<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Innocent is the first movie of Cannes 2022 to give me that belly aching, knee slapping laughter that I desperately needed.<\/em> &#8211; Deadline Hollywood<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It\u2019s a broad, enjoyable, light-hearted movie with a fair few not-insignificant plot holes, but a genuinely surprising storyline that keeps you guessing to the end.<\/em> &#8211; The Guardian<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/the_innocent_2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">100% Rotten Tomatoes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-2e7ace85-5a49-40c6-849a-e8f6d3ca5f78\"><li><strong>THE INNOCENT<\/strong><\/li><li>France, 2022 | Language: French | 99 minutes | Cert: 15a<\/li><li>Director: Louis Garrel<\/li><li>Cast: Roschdy Zem, Anouk Grinberg, No\u00e9mie Merlant, Louis Garrel<\/li><li>Foreign language films are subtitled.&nbsp; Cert: CLUB for over 18s.<\/li><li>A short film may be shown before the feature.<\/li><li><strong>BOOKING<\/strong><\/li><li>Tickets: \u20ac8.50\/\u20ac7 concession<\/li><li>Cork Cine Club is absorbing cost of online booking fees.<\/li><li><strong>Book online: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/TheInnocent-7thDec\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/TheInnocent-7thDec<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li>Pay at the door by card or cash.
