Deerskin (15)
Directed by Quentin Dupieux
★★★★
THE bonkers film of the week has to be writer-director Quentin Dupieux’s deliciously twisted comedy horror about a middle-aged man and his obsessive love for his designer deerskin jacket which takes killer style to a whole new level.
It is a return to form for Dupieux, having explored the exploits of a homicidal car tyre in Rubber.
