Acting is sometimes riddled with danger. But it is impossible to know if it was during a filming that Marina Foïs was injured, or if it was a simple household accident. Still, the actress went to the 14th edition of the Lumière Festival, October 15, 2022, with a bandaged hand, with a splint. As she posed for the photographers, lined up in front of her at the Halle Tony Garnier in Lyon, she tried to hide her right hand behind her handbag … but in vain. Everyone could see that the Louis Vuitton muse was equipped with a curious accessory.
The 2022 Lumière Festival opened its doors on October 15 and will close on October 23. It’s the movie the innocent, by Louis Garrel, which was screened during the opening ceremony. No wonder, therefore, that Marina Foïs crossed paths with the entire film crew that evening. The director, of course, but also Roschdy Zem, Noémie Merlant and Yanisse Kebabb – only Anouk Grinberg was missing to complete the picture. Also present, at the Halle Tony Garnier: Nicole Garcia, Damien Bonnard, Gérard Jugnot, Costa-Gavras and his wife, Abd Al Malik, Leïla Bekhti, Hippolyte Girardot, Florence Loiret-Caille, Lee Chang-dong, Alexandra Stewart, Etienne Chatiliez, Sabine Azéma, Gilles Cohen and his wife Karine Paschal, Sebastian Lelio, Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar, Géraldine Pailhas, Samuel Le Bihan and his partner Stefania Cristian, Laurent Gerra and his wife Christelle Bardet.
If Irène Jacob, the president of the festival, and Thierry Frémaux, the general manager of the event, had chosen to project the innocent, it’s not for nothing. The fourth film directed by Louis Garrel is a veritable nugget of humour, feelings and music emblematic of the 1980s. It was not, however, an unprecedented preview. The feature film has been broadcast in all cinemas in France since October 12, 2022. You now know what to do with your free time. Whether or not you are near Lyon…
