Genre: Documentary (1996) | Country: France / Switzerland / Italy | Duration: 77 min | Directors: Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou | Production: BAC Films | Distributor: Miramax Films | Narrator (US): Kristin Scott Thomas | MPAA Rating: G A documentary of insect life in meadows and ponds, using incredible close-ups, slow motion, and time-lapse photography. It features bees collecting nectar, ladybugs eating mites, snails mating, spiders wrapping their catch, a scarab beetle relentlessly pushing its ball of dung uphill, endless lines of caterpillars, an underwater spider creating an air bubble to live in, and a mosquito hatching. “The camerawork […] creates a remarkably rich, ultra-colorful tableau, and the plethora of tight closeups of the bugs in action sets this effort well apart from garden-variety docus.” Variety | Brendan Kelly
