Deerskin (2019) - Quentin Dupieux, Jean Dujardin

[CelestialAgent]

Picturehouse Entertainment will belatedly release Dupieux's second-to-last film (Mandibles has already played festivals), Deerskin (Le Daim) on Blu-ray.

It's worth noting it's been two years since the French cinema release, a year since the US release and I wouldn't be surprised if this comes out almost a year after the Australian Blu-ray!

Georges (Jean Dujardin), is a man who has one ambition - to possess the finest jacket in the world at the expense of all others.

With the relationship with his wife in tatters, Georges retreats to a remote town where he purchases the deerskin jacket of his dreams. Along with the killer style couture he has just acquired, he also gets hold of an old video camera. This ignites a new interest as he moves from couture to auteur. Aided by aspiring editor Denise (Adèle Haenel), he sets out to create his masterwork. However, his ever closer relationship with his deerskin jacket starts to take him down a darker path that he continues to document on his camera and which Denise continues to sew together into a film.

Laugh out loud funny and gloriously unexpected, the odyssey on which Georges has embarked leaves him guilty of many things, not least an excess of killer style....
