Distracted

Distracted (Le Distrait, 1970) is a French comedy you can watch online on iFILM. It's Pierre Richard's debut behind the camera, with Richard himself as the scatterbrained hero.

His mother lands him a manager's job at the Jéricho ad agency, where his backwards, half-mad campaign ideas somehow start making money. The trouble is his head: he forgets names, walks through the wrong doors, and turns every meeting into a small disaster. Bernard Blier plays the boss who puts up with him only because he's smitten with the young man's mother. This is pure physical farce — no villains, no lesson, just Richard tripping through eighty-five minutes on timing and rubber-limbed grace. Stream Distracted (1970) online on iFILM.
