Pierre Richard, portrait d'un rêveur

Actor, writer, director, and producer Pierre Richard has played a central role in French comedy cinema for over twenty years. Associated with some of the biggest hits of the 1970s and 1980s, the actor enjoyed immense popularity which, despite a more discreet presence over the last decade, continues to this day. In France, of course, but also abroad, particularly in Russia. However, to paint a vivid portrait of Pierre Richard by simply leafing through the album of his triumphs would be reductive and somewhat unfair because, despite his popularity, the man is modest, even shy, and only those who have known him well are familiar with the face behind the mask of distraction.
