Mikrokosmos

A documentary of monumentally small dimensions that brings us mortals closer to a world full of amazing creatures whose size doesn't matter at all. I admire great determination, great diligence and the greatest quality. And that light French song added something on top of it. (27.05.2010)

Fascinating. And it almost managed without spoken word, thank goodness. Scenes with snails in love, fighting stag beetle or wasp larvae are among the best naturalistic moments I have ever seen. I also really liked the approach of the filmmakers, who obviously didn't lack insight, and thus the sequence with the rain reminds me of a war film, the dung beetle gives a performance comparable to the most famous die-hards (I personally thought of Robert de Niro in The Mission) and the final "mosquito uprising" is as if it were cut from a horror movie. Of course, Bruno Coulais is also "responsible" for the great experience, but the breathtaking nature of our planet still plays the main role.__P.S. I could have done without the spiders, but the sea snake building an underwater house out of air bubbles really took my breath away. (06.10.2012)

A unique documentary with a pleasant insight and perfect technical aspect about an ordinary day in the grass behind our houses. Personally, from this team, I still like The Travelling Birds a little bit more. (16.05.2005)
