Deerskin
Madly entertaining and entertainingly mad comedy about a man’s obsession with his 100% deerskin jacket.
From the delightfully demented mind of French filmmaker and musician Quentin Dupieux (RUBBER) comes this hilarious exploration of obsession, identity, and apparel. Starring Jean Dujardin (THE ARTIST), DEERSKIN is a comic character study in which clothes make the man… mad.
Georges has just separated from his wife and appears to be undergoing a mid-life crisis. After failing to flush his corduroy jacket down a roadside restroom toilet, he drives to the rural manor of an aging hippie who, for an exorbitant fee, sells him a vintage deerskin jacket and a camcorder. No one could mistake this old jacket for a flattering garment but for Georges, it’s love at first sight. His heart broken and finances frozen, Georges embarks on an odyssey – with the jacket as his Sancho Panza.
