Review of Microcosmos (1996) by Adrian B — 12 Mar 2013
Documentary that shows in mesmerizing magnification insects in the hills of what I believe is in the United Kingdom. Many bugs are outlined in the various weather patterns that pass by including a torrential down poor, which allows the mosquitoes to sadly hatch (everyone hates these insects).
Very little narration and nothing in terms of plot or story, but mainly footage that shows the day and life of many types of bugs, such as ladybugs, bees, dragonflies, water-bugs, aphids, and ants. They may be gross and disgusting to many, but quite a few of them are cool to me.
The colours realized from this film are a gem. Though, I find it strange that the credits are French yet the narration is in English (and surprisingly by Kristin Scott Thomas who was in "The English Patient" that same year).
