    FEATURE. Claude Nuridsany’s and Marie Perennou’s film about insect life, Microcosmos (1996), is a beautiful anomaly. It bears a resemblance to nature documentaries but also to poetic documentaries. It is a highly stylized film yet retains a strong connection to the real world. It has no overarching narrative yet contains fictionalized mini-narratives. Billy Budd Vermillion discusses the many paradoxes and ‘fuzzy boundaries’ of the film.
