Reviews for Microcosmos
Both informative and entertaining, French docu doesn't presume any previous knowledge of or interest in the subject, finding the right tone (serio and also slyly humorous) to introduce in detail a previously unrecorded but fascinating universe.
Innovative documentary about the teeming world of bugs in a French countryside meadow.
The material presented here is so compelling and so true to the natural processes it records that it's beside the point to wonder if the filmmakers sped them up.
