Surreal Nature Films

In celebration of Earth Day, be awed by the astounding strangeness and diversity of nature in all its bizarre and beautiful glory. From atomic-age science-fiction disaster films about irradiated ants ( Them! , Phase IV ) to the sublime stranger-than-fiction scientific studies of biologist Jean Painlevé and an extraordinary up-close encounter with the insect universe ( Microcosmos ), these eye-opening alternate perspectives on our very own planet remind us of the tantalizing mysteries of the natural world.
