The brief, eventful and fruitful life of Paracelsus, a 16th century doctor, motivated a German tribute film in 1943, approximately 400 years after his death that rescued a fragment of his existence. The filming and premiere took place during the Second World War and was rigorously controlled by the Nazis. This produced certain controversies, still in force, related to its director. This paper intends to portrait both facts.

Keywords : Paracelso; medicine; Renaissance; cinema.
