Film Review – Deerskin

I’ve written this before and I will write again: Quentin Dupieux enjoys the strange stuff. The writer/director likes to make odd little movies, and he’s done so with exciting creativity, unafraid to reach some macabre places while often pursuing sly silly business. He made himself known with 2011’s “Rubber,” the killer tire picture, and continued with entertainingly oddball endeavors such as “Wrong Cops,” “Wrong,” and “Reality.” Staying true to his helming habits, Dupieux returns with “Deerskin,” which tells the tale of a special jacket and its relationship with an increasingly deranged man. Mercifully short and to-the-point, “Deerskin” never bites off more than it can chew, with Dupieux slowly but surely exploring a tale of insanity and filmmaking, offering all the dark comedy and violence one expects of a guy who’s graduated from tires to fringed outerwear when conjuring up cursed, malevolent objects.
