Pierre Malaquet has been hired by the Jerico advertising agency, mainly because Jerico's boss is having an affair with his mother. And it's also this fact that allows Pierre to last in the company more than a week. He has totally different ideas on advertising and is also terribly distracted. On one hand, he gets the people around him into absolutely incredible situations, on the other, he gets them quite irritated with him. But surely he can find someone who will enjoy his stunts and humor. Not to mention that his ads find success. (Zlín Film Festival)

This is the film that defined Pierre Richard and a whole series of films and roles that he basically continues to make to this day. All the essential ingredients are there, including Pierre's distinctive suit, Bernard Blier, and a few charming ladies and dames. However, you only need to see the opening sequence at the intersection to know everything about Pierre. This includes the fact that he is the last modern bearer of classical slapstick at the expense of everything else.

I understand the nostalgia here, because it pretty much goes with the territory when it comes to French comedies, but Pierre Richard's directorial debut made its way to me more than thirty-five years after it was made, which resulted in a rather inglorious experience. While you can watch La Chèvre or The Big Blonde over and over again, this time I was bored almost the entire time. The golden era was yet to come.

From a film perspective, it is not a perfect piece because Pierre Richard was still learning directing on it, but he definitely had more film ideas than in the second half of his career, so Distracted is full of energy and humor, just like the works of young Woody Allen. The commercials are almost a perfect example of parodying consumer style (especially the one with the last cigarette, which I really like). Overall impression: 75%.

"My begonias! My dog! My child!" - "Your heart." It's an absolute classic. I don't know what to praise first, but the most charming moments of all for me are when the film brings together the distracted main character (who we've become quite used to by this point) with another similarly "afflicted" person and something really, really funny and successfully awful breaks out.
