I love this CD. Turn off the lights and let it take you on a beautiful journey. The movie was good, but I have to say that I enjoy listening to the music alone and letting my imagination do the rest even more. It's particularly nice if you have a good sound system, as the recording is of demonstration quality. The recorded nature sounds blend seamlessly with music, as well. I only wish there were more of Mr. Coulais' music available...

I have yet to talk with anyone else who has seen this film. Despite that, GO RENT IT NOW! Also, GO BUY THIS SOUNDTRACK NOW! Even if you don't appreciate insect life, you will love the music. Eerie and eclectic. Sweet and almost morbid musical movement. Very lulling and hypnotic. The musical theme throughout the cd is called appropriately "Microcosmos" and features the most dark and passionate sounds from both stringed instruments and children's voices. Explanation of this cd is difficult but it is a definite must for your collection.

LOOK OUT -- The CD shown in this listing (Nino Rota: Works for Piano) is not the CD that goes with the track listing, music samples, or other reviews (Bruno Coulais: Microcosmos). Make sure you are ordering the item you want. I ordered the Rota thinking I was getting the songs that turn out to be Coulais and actually got a completely different CD.
