About Pasteur et Koch : Un duel de géants dans la guerre des microbes
Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch: great scientists, national icons, opponents in the service of research. One is a Frenchman and chemist and is already in the second half of his life. He is honored worldwide with numerous prizes for his discovery of the rabies vaccine. The other was a still unknown German country doctor in his 30s, whose discovery of the tuberculosis bacillus was later awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine. From 1881, the two were bitter rivals. Their 20-year rivalry resulted in spectacular progress in the fight against deadly epidemics.
Directed by Mathieu Schwartz, Pasteur et Koch : Un duel de géants dans la guerre des microbes leans on a strong ensemble — Patrick Bonnel, Pierre Hiessler, Paul Lefèvre — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2018.
