Serge Bozon presents Madame Hyde as a “film on education”. As a former teacher of mathematical logics, he knew the difficulties involved in passing on ideas. Although the film gets its outlines from Stevenson's work, it takes a sideways step and explores a twofold transformation. Firstly, of Mrs Géquil(!) who, following an electric shock, becomes an inspired teacher by day and a fiery woman by night. And secondly, of Malik, a disabled student, who wakes up to knowledge. For this out-of-the-ordinary film, screened in preview (the general release date is 28 March), Isabelle Huppert won the best Actress award at the last Locarno festival, while Romain Duris excels as a narcissistic head teacher with his youth-focused desire.
