• Using revolutionary cameras, the directors of this French film (with minimal English-language narration) have made an amazing chronicle of the insect world. There are at least a dozen fascinating, memorable images and the carnage is held to a minimum. Some favourites include a caterpillar traffic jam, a frog s bout with a rain storm and a bird that turns into Godzilla for a bunch of ants. Then there s the snail mating scene that must be seen to be believed. Great for families. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

• Microexcellence. Stunning! Micrococsmos is like no other movie out there. The closest similarities can be found (in essence) in other movies like Baraka, Atlantis or KOYAANISQATSI. I can imagine that a lot of people may find this movie difficult to watch, with it s very patient and drawn out edits and sequences, however, the sense of being-at-one with the subject matter is the driving force behind this very ambitious project.

  The cinematography is only second to Baraka. This is a very vague criticism as they cover very different subject matter and it would be unfair to place them side by side for scrutiny.

  Somehow the makers have managed to bring action, humour and a dynamic tension to the most unobvious of subjects i.e. entomology against the backdrop of a very ordinary looking meadow.

  From the chaos of a hurricane-like light morning shower to the sleepy winding and unwinding of two snails making out, this movie would put any convoluted Hollywood plot to shame.

  This is, without doubt, the most refreshing film I have seen in many years and would recommend it to both film and nature enthusiasts everywhere.

• See And Experience A World You Did Not Know Of. This amazing movie does a terrific job at displaying what is in front of our very eyes yet we never see, either because we dont pay attention or because we simply cant see! However once in the cosmos of the little friends everything is shockingly beautiful. It is neat to see how ants stock their winters food in their granaries, it is amazing to see what rain means to creatures that are the size of a rain drop, it is tranquilizing to see how slugs mate. All throughout the movie you keep thinking, How did they shoot this scene. It is a different setting, it is a different time. It is a different cosmos, only a micro one.
