This week the boys watch a French movie and get v. sensual.
"Deerskin" (or "Le Daim" in its original French title) is a dark comedy film released in 2019, written and directed by Quentin Dupieux. The movie follows Georges, a middle-aged man played by Jean Dujardin, who becomes obsessed with a vintage deerskin jacket and begins to believe that he is a filmmaker. As Georges descends into madness, he becomes increasingly erratic and dangerous, leading to a series of absurd and unpredictable events.
The film stands out for its unique premise and offbeat humor. "Deerskin" explores themes of obsession, identity, and the power of clothing to shape one's perception of self. Jean Dujardin delivers a remarkable performance as the delusional and self-obsessed Georges, bringing a blend of charisma and vulnerability to the role. The film's surreal and deadpan style, combined with its minimalistic narrative, creates a captivating and unpredictable viewing experience.
"Deerskin" has garnered critical acclaim for its originality and darkly comedic tone. The film defies genre conventions, blending elements of comedy, drama, and thriller to create a distinct and unconventional cinematic experience. Dupieux's direction and clever script engage viewers with a mix of absurdity, wit, and unexpected twists. "Deerskin" stands as a testament to the creativity and audacity of independent filmmaking, offering a thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of human nature and obsession.
