Résumé
The present essay focuses on the intersection of art and science, as well as gender ambiguity, centering on the figure of the artificial creature, on the basis of two French classic novels that have been the subject of various screen adaptations: Gaston Leroux’s La Poupée sanglante/La Machine à assassiner (1923/24), a novel that Marcel Cravenne turned into a TV series in 1976; Maurice Renard’s Les Mains d’Orlac (1920), brought to the screen by Robert Wiene (Orlacs Hände, 1924) and Karl Freund (Mad Love, 1935), in particular.
