Microcosmos (1996)
Country: FR/SW/IT
Technical: col 75m
Director: Claude Nuridsany, Marie Pérennou
Cast: doc.
Synopsis:
Plunging from clouds heavy with rain into the depths of the long grass of a European meadow, the camera explores the fantastical world of insects in extreme close-up.
Review:
Technically ground-breaking nature film, for which the term 'documentary' is barely adequate. Like its successor, Le peuple migrateur, it is rather a rhapsodic succession of images of extraordinary grace and beauty, all the more arresting and improbable for being of a world rarely glimpsed in such detail.
