"Killer. Style."

Comedy, Horror

A man's obsession with owning the designer deerskin jacket of his dreams leads him to turn his back on his humdrum life in the suburbs, blow his life savings, and even turn him to crime.

Plot

Academy Award-winner Jean Dujardin (THE ARTIST) is recently divorced and having a mid-life identity crisis. In search of a new life and look, he ditches his past in a roadside petrol station and encounters a vintage fringed deerskin jacket with influential supernatural powers. He relocates to a quiet French alpine village where he is mistaken for an independent filmmaker by an adventurous, enterprising bartender in a sleepy saloon (Adèle Haenel, PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE) who happens to be an aspiring editor with natural production instincts. The two forge a tenuous allegiance and team up to collaborate on a film inspired by the visionary deerskin jacket.
