Artist Bio
Overview
Our new virtual cinema will allow us to continue sharing curated, cinematic gems with you by bringing the art house directly into your home while also helping support O Cinema.From the delightfully demented mind of French filmmaker and musician Quentin Dupieux (a.k.a. Mr. Oizo), best known for 2010's murderous-tire movie RUBBER, comes this hilariously addled exploration of obsession, identity, and apparel. Starring Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin (from THE ARTIST), DEERSKIN is a comic character study in which clothes make the man… mad.Georges (Jean Dujardin) 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. Georges converses with the jacket which, through Georges, answers back. When a bartender named Denise (Adèle Haenel from PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE) asks Georges what he does, he replies that he's a filmmaker — after all, he does own a camcorder. Denise, it turns out, is an aspiring film editor, practicing her craft by re-editing popular films. Georges convinces Denise to fund a nonexistent project. Meanwhile, our unhinged hero continues to accumulate deerskin items….Madly entertaining — or entertainingly mad? — DEERSKIN is a showcase for both Dupieux's high-wire storytelling and Dujardin's chops as a leading actor. For long stretches, the film is a one-man operation, yet we're continually riveted by this portrait of masculine insecurity gone unnervingly, amusingly, awry.
