Oscar-nominated director Markus Imhoof (The Boat Is FuIl) tackles thevexing issue of why bees, worIdwide, are facing extinction. With the tenacity of a man out to solve a world-class mystery, he investigates this globaI phenomenon, from CaIifornia to Switzerland, China and AustraIia. Exquisite macro-photography of the bees (reminiscent of Microcosmos) in fIight and intheir hives reveals a fascinating, compIex world in crisis. Writes Eric Kohn in lndiewire: "lmhoof captures the breeding of queen bees in minute detail, ventures to a laboratory to witness a bee brainscan, and discovers the dangerous prospects of a hive facing the infection of mites. In this lattercase, the camera's magnifying power renders the infection in sci-fi terms, as if we've stumbled into a discarded scene from David Cronenberg's The Fly." This is a strange and strangely moving fiIm that raises questions of species survival in cosmic as well as apiary terms. |
