Absurd tale sees the fractured masculinity of a middle-aged man (The Artist's Jean Dujardin) on full display when he forms an unhealthily strong relationship with a tasseled deerskin jacket. The latest outing from unimitable French director Quentin Dupieux (Rubber, Wrong), aka Mr. Oizo.

Where to watch Deerskin
Taking “killer style” to the extreme, one man’s relationship with a tassled deerskin jacket gets super weird. As he demands other people promise to never wear jackets, and bodies begin piling up, this is bizarre brilliance.

"Slight but quite amusing ... But despite a few good gags and committed performances, the nagging suspicion that this eccentric concept would’ve worked better as a medium-length work or even a short remains."

Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"It’s hard to shake the feeling that Dupieux’s outré premise would have worked better as a short, as the unusual narrative struggles to make the scenario palatable even at the bare minimum for a feature-length treatment."
—
IndieWire
IndieWire"Deerskin is more of a twisted lark than anything else, but it hits on something meaningful—a first for a director who’s shown almost no prior interest in reality, even within a film called Reality."
—
A.V. Club
A.V. Club"Although ostensibly set in the present day, this odd, frightening and entrancing little movie seems stuck in a moment out of time."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"A loopy entertaining WTF lark. ... The fact that it holds you, for 77 minutes, is a testament to the debauched rigor of Dupieux’s filmmaking."
—
Variety
Variety"A nerve-inducing triumph of off-kilter and self-aware filmmaking."
