A video essay by Adrian Martin and Cristina Álvarez López connecting Jean Renoir's free variation on Robert Louis Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde to the anarchic tramps played by Charles Chaplin and Denis Levant: mubi.io/2vXPE8k
The audiovisual essay, inspired by the brute physicality of Renoir’s and Barrault’s interpretation of Stevenson, traces the path of certain postures, gestures, actions, and reactions that echo through this glorious Brotherhood of Opale.
