Plot

Dr. Cordelier, living in a suburb of Paris, tests a drug on himself that unleashes a second self, in a modern Jekyll and Hyde.

Sinekatalog’s take

Jean Renoir's TV film, Le Testament du docteur Cordelier, with Jean-Louis Barrault, is strange, stylized and shot live-like, an odd late experiment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
