The manikin, made by Quentin Dupieux, had its song of praise in the UK graph besting single “Level Beat” and featured in various Dupieux-coordinated ads for Levi’s. In the most noticeable TV spot, Eric is presented side-on as he relaxes in a vehicle, bopping his head to the radio, remaining quiet about his considerations.
By some coincidence, in Dupieux’s eighth element, Deerskin, Georges (Jean Dujardin, with a feathery, fuzzy facial hair) is presented side-on as he relaxes in a vehicle, bopping his head to the radio, hushing up about his contemplations. In any event, Dupieux demands that it’s by some coincidence, in any event, when I produce two almost indistinguishable pictures over Zoom. “Please!” he giggles. “I don’t have a clue. I’m continually shooting vehicles.”
When I address Dupieux, it’s in June 2021, around two years after Deerskin debuted at Cannes in 2019. From that point forward, the 47-year-old French craftsman, a productive figure whose DJ moniker is Mr. Oizo, has coordinated two other movies: Mandibles debuted last year at Venice, and during the pandemic, he composed, shot, and altered Incredible But True. “Mandibles just turned out in France. We can’t simply put out another film. Staggering But True should stand by no less than eight months.”
He adds, “It’s completely wrapped up. Blended. Shading evaluated. Everything’s finished. So I’m going to set up another movie.”As Deerskin was three movies prior for Dupieux, he portrays himself as no more “sincerely connected” to the undertaking. “It’s simply a cool piece of film,” he says.
“I couldn’t say whether it’s dim or fun or simply moronic.” Still, the world debut appears to be stopped into his memory. “The French wholesaler advised me, ‘It’s great; however it’s freaking dim.'” Then at Cannes, the crowd reacted with loud chuckling. “So I told my wholesaler, ‘You see? Alright, it’s dull. However, it’s entertaining. They like it!'”
While Georges has an incredible design style, he will not be fronting a Levi’s promoting effort any time soon. From the beginning, the upset man – incidentally, a beginner producer – buys, fanatically wears, and in the long run, speaks with a recycled deerskin coat.
