Intro
"Deerskin" is a 2019 French comedy-drama movie composed and directed by Quentin Dupieux. This special, unique production follows the eccentric journey of a recent divorcee who becomes obsessed with a deerskin coat.

Main Plot
The protagonist of the film is Georges, a middle-aged male played by Jean Dujardin, who has actually simply gone through a rough divorce. After his other half has actually obstructed access to their shared bank account, George withdraws the staying cash and start a journey to a remote French village. There, he obtains a classic deerskin jacket with fringes from a senior male. This jacket stirs a severe obsession in Georges, which drives the rest of the plot. The coat personifies his desire for attention and regard, at first offering him a sense of identity and purpose.

However, this fascination takes a dark turn. Georges starts conversing with the jacket and makes an odd pact: his jacket must be the only one worldwide. His objective intensifies gradually from just filming his coat, utilizing a digital camcorder that the old guy threw in as part of the deal, to dedicating violent acts versus anyone seen using a coat.

Georges meets Denise, an amateur film editor played by Adèle Haenel, who errors him for a filmmaker. Denise is fascinated by his eccentric 'movies' of his coat, translating them as an innovative art kind. Utilizing the remaining cash from his account, Georges pays Denise to modify the video he has actually taken of his coat into a movie. Interested by the individuality of his 'task', Denise assists Georges in his abstruse journey.

Turning Point and Climax
The motion picture deviates when Denise discovers Georges's violent program. She accompanies it, thinking it's a part of the guerrilla filmmaking once she realises the fact, she sets up a ruse to outmaneuver Georges. The climax hits when Georges is confronted by the cops, but it is the confrontation by Denise serving as a vengeful victim that ultimately concludes the story.

Conclusion
"Deerskin" is a dark, comedic, peculiar and, at moments, disturbing story about fascination and identity. Georges's mania spirals into a harmful endgame in pursuit of his over-the-top goal, leading him down a course of violence and insanity.

This movie provides a thoughtful exploration of the human requirement for recognition and how customer items can end up being symbols of status and identity. It unfolds in a desolate, withdrawn setting, using noticeably surreal aspects and remarkable humor. Despite the eccentric plot, Deerskin exists in a grounded and slow-paced way. Jean Dujardin's captivating performance as Georges, together with Adèle Haenel's genuinely intrigued Denise, makes the film a gripping and ridiculously amusing dark comedy.
