Iconoclast Quentin Dupieux (remember Rubber’s avenging tire at VIFF 10?) teams up with French megastars Jean Dujardin and Adèle Haenel for this blackly comic look at one man’s love affair with… his fringed buckskin jacket? The purchase of said vintage jacket leads Georges (Dujardin) to throw his previous life in the bin, declare himself a filmmaker, and begin a descent into obsession that has had critics invoking everything from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer to Barton Fink to Peeping Tom. Singular.
