Microcosmos

Since Planet Earth is my favorite documentary series, I'm a huge sucker for Microcosmos. I love the humor and drama depicted. Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou painstakingly use proper music and editing to create a real narrative for a world of bugs that don't know they're being watched. We feel their pain as a huge water droplet crashes down upon them or happiness when they found a tasty morsel in the dirt. The close-up and personal nature of the documentary allows the viewer a portal into a world that usually goes under our feet. Very illuminating.
