DEERSKIN

France | 2019 | 77 minutes | Director: Quentin Dupieux

Georges is 44 years old, and his jacket is made of deerskin. In fact, his jacket talks to him. And Georges is willing to do anything for this prized item of clothing. His jacket will lead him to turn his back on his humdrum life in the suburbs, blow his life savings and even turn him to crime. No further introductions are needed: Quentin Dupieux is back, bringing a film with an air of self-portrait and including a Jean Dujardin who offers one of the roles of his life.
