Depardieu also touches upon controversial topics such as his relationship with Putin and issues that have led to skirmishes with the press and public.</p><p> </p><p>At bottom, <em>Innocent</em> is less a memoir and more the account of a man in search of faith, the faith that is of an innocent mystic, and includes passages about Depardieu's explorations of Islam, Buddhism, and other religions.</p><p> </p><p>Espousing a notion of innocence that calls us to move beyond dogma and ideology, Depardieu urges us to engage with others with respect, receptivity, and mindfulness. In these combative and divisive times, we believe this is a vital if not necessary book, one that could continue and extend dialogues about questions of faith, politics, and religion.</p>
