Le distrait / Absent-minded (1970)
Comedy
Pierre Malaquet is a likeable young man but he is hopelessly absent-minded and cannot sustain a train of thought for more than a few seconds. Despite this affliction, Pierre is confident he can make a name for himself in the sphere of advertising and it is with unbridled enthusiasm that he begins working for Alexandre Guiton, one of France’s leading advertising executives. Pierre does not know that Guiton only gave him the job to please his mistress, Glycia, who happens to be Pierre’s mother. It soon becomes apparent that Pierre is not well-suited for the career he has chosen. Most of his branding ideas revolve around death and extreme human suffering, a novel approach but one which has yet to gain public approval. When Pierre creates havoc at a house party given by Guiton’s most important client, his boss banishes him to a basement room where he can do no further harm, or so he thinks. Mr Klerdene, a customer who is even more scatterbrained than Pierre, ends up in the same room, mistaking it for Guiton’s office. Klerdene offers Pierre a contract to promote his new brand of toothpaste and Pierre has an idea for a totally new form of advertising involving ordinary people in the street. When the approach proves successful the first time round, Pierre tries it again, promoting a brand of bags for plastic bags by getting people to break eggs over each other’s heads. Pierre’s next ghoulish idea for a television commercial is far less successful, however…
