MICROCOSMOS - Incredible Close-Up, Slo-Mo, and Time-Lapse

++++NON-FICTION++++ DVD-Rip

A documentary of insect life in meadows and ponds, using incredible close-ups, slow motion, and time-lapse photography. It includes unbelievable footages of 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 so much more.

I knew it was unbelievable, but I didn’t expect it to be THAT good! Probably the best nature film ever made! The stunning images are not what make it a masterpiece, rather it is its poetry which conveys the sheer beauty of life.

Amazing. There must have been millions of hours of footage shot to obtain these perfect sequences of magnified nature. Each segment was fascinating, beautiful, in some cases strangely emotional. My jaw literally dropped through much of this film. I even found myself wowing like a hippy and chuckling like Butthead many times.
