An astonishing achievement, French directors Nuridsany and Perennou invite us into a magical, distinct little world, invisible to the naked eye, that nevertheless exists all around us. “Microcosmos,” which unsurprisingly won the Technical Award at Cannes, stands as a small miracle — a beautiful, fascinating evocation of the wonder inherent in all earth's species, including its smallest denizens.
