I have never been particularly eager 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 interesting.
A team of Swiss, Italian and French cinematographers and naturalists retract us to a lush meadow in the south of France and suppose, 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 select for granted are displayed close-up, and are revealed to be perfect in their symmetry of beget, their coloration, their awesome create. 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 roguish, 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 current years? ), even loathsome, if one had the notion of snails as slimy, unpleasant creatures that I had, it is instead one of the most elegant, and dare I say, sensuous, scenes I`ve ever witnessed. Instead of detestable looking, the snails are comely, their intricately dim and colored shells colorful, as they buy in a pas-de-deux that would keep Nureyev and Fonteyne to shame.
Also especially memorable is the segment engrossing a dung beetle, doggedly engaged in rolling a ball of dung up a slope of gravel. As he plods on, one can’t relieve but like his determination and his fortitude. He is a little 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 racy shoot sticking up out of the ground. He doesn’t know why the ball won’t disappear, 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 plan 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 save on earth to do.
Even the most detested of insects, the mosquito, is shown to be a piece of the tall perform at the conclusion of the film. In one of the good 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 determined exactly what sort of creature it is until it finally flies off and we hear its all-too-familiar buzzing.

One method 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 serene and tranquil meadow and following a brief myth, 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 deny for themselves and provide no account.
This is the perfect film for people to present to school level children. Although some have commented that the weakness of the film is the fact that it has no legend, I personally feel this the strength of the film. So many of the natural history films try and provide so noteworthy information about the visuals that the viewer is unable to bask in the beauty of the image. It is often quite easy to define the visuals if it is striking and bright as is the case with this film.
The reason why I contain it is ideal for school children is that it is trudge 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 delight in it. It’s educational value may be less for this audience, but it will certainly fascinate anyone keen in natural history.
