Through our Virtual Screening Room, you can rent films curated by the Coolidge team, while helping to support the Coolidge during this unprecedented time.

In this black comedy of middle-aged masculinity gone awry, Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin is a recent divorcee who becomes obsessed with a vintage fringed deerskin jacket that begins to exert an uncanny hold on him. Set in a sleepy French alpine village, he falls into the guise of an independent filmmaker and befriends a trusting bartender and aspiring editor (Adèle Haenel, Portrait of a Lady on Fire) who becomes his collaborator on a movie that will document a surprising new goal he sets himself.

Watch an introduction from Coolidge Program Manager & Director of Special Programming Mark Anastasio:

Every new release we offer will be available through the individual distributor's websites and streaming services. You'll be taken to their websites to purchase and watch the film, but a portion of your ticket will help support the Coolidge. Having technical issues? Visit our FAQ page here.

Brisk, brief, and blissfully strange, Deerskin could only have come from the possibly alien brain of France’s Quentin Dupieux.

A loopy entertaining WTF lark.

Funny, weird and original; it features two charismatic stars, and it does everything it needs to do in only 77 minutes.
