I have never been particularly enthusiastic in bugs. In fact, I have in most cases viewed them with a mixture of disgust, disinterest or (in the case of flies and mosquitoes, particularly) loathing. After watching this film, I want to become an amateur entomologist. It really is that revelatory and fascinating.
A team of Swiss, Italian and French cinematographers and naturalists assume us to a lush meadow in the south of France and deny, through microphotography, the unseen (or at least, generally unnoticed) inhabitants at work and play there.

This is nature documentary at its finest. Insects that we all purchase for granted are displayed close-up, and are revealed to be perfect in their symmetry of gain, their coloration, their awesome manufacture. It does give one a renewed sense of appreciation for creation in all its myriad forms: nature is diverse and abundantly versatile.

The film’s creators, by supplying a sometimes sportive, sometimes dramatic, soundtrack, add to the anthropomorphic qualities of the micro vignettes. For instance, the long, languid scene depicting snails mating is accompanied by a Puccini aria. Though this may sound trite (how many Puccini arias have been overused in modern years? ), even loathsome, if one had the view of snails as slimy, gross creatures that I had, it is instead one of the most glorious, and dare I say, sensuous, scenes I`ve ever witnessed. Instead of heinous looking, the snails are attractive, their intricately shadowy and colored shells lustrous, as they consume in a pas-de-deux that would keep Nureyev and Fonteyne to shame.
Also especially memorable is the segment gripping a dung beetle, doggedly engaged in rolling a ball of dung up a slope of gravel. As he plods on, one can’t serve but appreciate his determination and his fortitude. He is a puny Sisyphus, engaged in an eternal struggle in his uphill battle for survival. The ball of dung (about five times his size) becomes stuck on a though-provoking shoot sticking up out of the ground. He doesn’t know why the ball won’t fade, yet he doesn’t give up. He rolls and prods and shoves until finally he goes over to the side on which the ball is stuck and succeeds in removing it. Nature rewards perseverance. Actually, this could be idea of as one of the themes of the movie. All of these Hymenoptera, Neuropterans, and Heptira, etc., are hard workers, ceaselessly engaged in what they were build on earth to do.
Even the most detested of insects, the mosquito, is shown to be a piece of the gigantic develop at the conclusion of the film. In one of the generous time-lapse birth sequences that are a thread in the movie, a mosquito is shown forming from its larval stage on the surface of a pond. The viewer is not certain exactly what sort of creature it is until it finally flies off and we hear its all-too-familiar buzzing.

One scheme of thinking of this film is that it is the Cirque de Soleil of nature documentaries. The same sort of outside the box creativity went into this production. It’s resplendent in every respect and should be seen and appreciated by viewers of all ages.
If this does not inspire or fascinate people eager in nature, I do not know what will.
This film depicts the activities of an outwardly peaceful and level-headed meadow and following a brief account, zooms in on a scale that captures insects at their active best over the entire day and hence the title “Microcosmos”. The makers of the film let the pictures advise for themselves and provide no record.
This is the perfect film for people to note to school level children. Although some have commented that the weakness of the film is the fact that it has no story, I personally feel this the strength of the film. So many of the natural history films try and provide so considerable information about the visuals that the viewer is unable to bask in the beauty of the image. It is often quite easy to clarify the visuals if it is striking and gleaming as is the case with this film.
The reason why I possess it is ideal for school children is that it is scramble to kindle their curiosity and once this is achieved at least some of them will be inclined to pursue “what is going on” and “why is it going on” questions. Nature videos with narratives may provide indispensable information, but their ability to inspire the spirit of enquiry is often suspect. The fact that this film does not plant any preconceptions renders it an invaluable tool in teaching.
This is not to say that university level students or academics or the lay person will not devour it. It’s educational value may be less for this audience, but it will certainly fascinate anyone keen in natural history.
