Synopsis Microcosmos - Le Peuple de l'herbe, Claude Nuridsany, Marie Perennou France, Switzerland, Italy, 1996, 75', Documentary, Portuguese subtitles Directed by biologists Claude Nuridsany and Marie Pérennou, Microcosmos is a unique cinematic experience that transforms an ordinary French meadow into an extraordinary universe. Over the course of 24 hours, the camera closes in on the insects down to a one-centimetre scale, revealing a world at once epic, surreal and hypnotic. Hardly resorting to narration, it is the images, the sounds and Bruno Coulais's unforgettable music that carry this journey. Winner of five Césars and seen by 3.5 million spectators in France, Microcosmos remains a landmark work of nature cinema.
