A man in the middle of a midlife crisis falls in love with his fringe jacket in this brilliantly twisted, darkly comic road-trip. Jean Dujardin plays the man determined to own the only jacket in the world. Director Quentin Dupieux made a film called ‘Rubber’ about a killer tyre. So, it is no surprise to find him telling a tale of a man’s smouldering infatuation with a suede jacket. When the jacket tells him it wants to be the only jacket in the world – Georges is up to the task and sets about it with bloodthirsty enthusiasm dispatching those who won’t hand over their jackets with a blade from a ceiling fan. There are echoes of Ben Wheatley’s black comedy ‘Sightseers’ as well as the deadpan absurdity of Luis Buñuel. David Lynch might have directed ‘Deerskin’ as if it were a dream; others might have treated it as a farce. Dupieux keeps a straight face, and you will see nothing like it this, or perhaps any year.
