| ln a remote wintry forest, a hunter discovers the mummified corpse of a 40-year-oId man. A diary is found near the body, detailing the man's everyday thoughts as he commits suicide through seIf-imposed starvation. Based on an incredible true story, and adapted from the novelIa ''UntiI I am a Mummy'' by Shimada Masahiko, Peter Liecthi's THE SOUND OF INSECTS is a stunning investigation into the mystery of the man s enigmatic self-destructive motivations. Taking on his point-of-view, the fiIm presents the notebook entries as stream-of-consciousness musings on the world around him as his body dissipates, an attempt to piece together the causes of his disiIlusionment. With luminous cinematography of the vaulting trees that surround his tented tomb, and of hallucinated memories of the cities and people he Ieft behind, THE SOUND OF INSECTS is a hypnotic and transcendent meditation on how the renunciation of Iife paradoxicaIIy reveaIs its beauty. |
