Le Distrait
Pierre Richard
Pierre Richard spent 10 years in front of the cameras before he found his true calling: director-screenwriter-actor. In his first foray, Le distrait, he gave himself unlimited freedom to exploit his rich vein of idiosyncratic humour. His zany character, who owes much to Buster Keaton, was an immediate success, judging by the quality of the gags and the playfulness of the story. Inspired by La Bruyère’s character studies, this is a comedy that bursts at the seams with character(s).
