Lola Quivoron
Julia lives off small-time schemes and has a devouring, almost animal-like passion for motorcycling. One summer day, she meets a group of bikers who are into cross-bitume and infiltrates this underground scene, made up mainly of young men. Before an accident undermines her position in the gang...
"Breathtakingly energetic. A punch in the face." ELLE
L'innocent
Louis Garrel
Familial tensions, criminal hijinks and unexpected romance collide in the uproariously
entertaining new comedy from the multi-talented Louis Garrel (A Faithful Man), about the misguided attempts of a dedicated son who,
in trying to protect his mother, finds himself embroiled in an elaborate heist. Lyon, present day. When widowed marine biologist Abel
(Garrel) learns that his impulsive mum Sylvie (Anouk Grinberg) is once again re-marrying – this time to an inmate she met whilst teaching
theatre in prison – he’s much more than uncomfortable. Doubting that convicted burglar Michel (Roschdy Zem) is capable of turning over a
new leaf, Abel’s protective streak kicks in, and so with the help of his best friend Clémence (a sensational Noémie Merlant), he begins
tailing his new stepfather’s movements. Their amateur sleuthing is quickly uncovered by Michel and triggers an unlikely – and bold -
business proposition for them both…
Selected as the special Gala Screening to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival - where it drew a thunderously
positive response - this hilarious, quintessentially French comedy aims to please and does so effortlessly
