Deerskin (2019)



Released May 1, 2020, in the US.
Filmed entirely in France.
The story:  Georges is a man looking for who he really is.
Recently divorced, Georges has left town, ditched his everyday sport jacket, and gone off the deep end to spend a crazy amount of money on a previously owned, genuine deerskin jacket...
The jacket did come with a previously owned, barely used digital video camera as well.
Now Georges begins his journey on becoming someone else.
Staying at a hotel with no way to pay, he leaves his wedding ring as collateral.
Eating out of dumpsters but paying for drinks at the bar, Georges meets and befriends the bartender.
The bartender believes Georges is a filmmaker because he told her he was , although he is not.
He can be though you see. I mean he does have a camera...
She explains she is an amateur film editor.
Georges concocts a plan to get the bartender to give him money to fund him while his real editors are in Siberia.
Georges also wants to be the only person in the world with a jacket...
So he begins paying random people, to bring all their jackets along with them while they recite words of never wearing a jacket again and then putting them inside his trunk, while he films them.
All goes as Georges's plans until he messes with the wrong person.
