Microcosmos

Claude Nuridsany & Marie Perenou, 1996 (75 mins, Cert. U)

The most original and beguiling film to grace the Barbican screen for some time, Microcosmos explores a day in the life of insects (yes, insects) in a lush French meadow. Taking five years to complete, it reveals its ants, spiders and butterflies as larger than life characters, whose pastimes, habits and relationships are beautiful, violent, miraculous and riveting. Microcosmos has been a huge hit across Europe - there is no other film like it!
