Renoir's Testament of Dr. Cordelier was produced for French television. Despite the many negative reviews, it is one of the finest adaptations of the Jekyll-Hyde story ever made. The original Robert Louis Stevenson story is updated, making several pointed comments about the good-evil dichotomy of the modern world. This retelling of the Jeckyll-Hyde legend adheres to Renoir's long-standing leitmotif of the individual who must stand alone because he is incapable of conforming. Sensational central performance from Jean-Louis Barrault.

Abstract

Renoir's Testament of Dr. Cordelier was produced for French television. Despite the many negative reviews, it is one of the finest adaptations of the Jekyll-Hyde story ever made. The original Robert Louis Stevenson story is updated, making several pointed comments about the good-evil dichotomy of the modern world. This retelling of the Jeckyll-Hyde legend adheres to Renoir's long-standing leitmotif of the individual who must stand alone because he is incapable of conforming. Sensational central performance from Jean-Louis Barrault.
