Deerskin

""Le Daim" couldn't be a stranger movie -- and that's what makes it so fascinating. After all, director Quentin Dupieux (of the equally strange "Réalité" and "Rubber") follows here the story of a man obsessed with buying a deerskin jacket that costs him all his savings. From there, Jean Dujardin's character (from the award-winning "The Artist") enters a spiral of madness and obsession, setting the tone and rhythm of the film. Although "Estilo Matador" doesn't have the same degree of bizarreness as the telepathic tire of "Rubber", the feature film plays with the limits of narrative and constantly challenges the viewer to embark, along with the protagonist, in this moment of insanity. In addition to Dujardin, highlight the performance of Adele Haenel ("Portrait of a Young Woman on Fire"), who leaves her usual roles to play an eccentric character."
