This was fun to see yesterday at the Film Forum. A documentary about bug collectors, beetle fiends and moth attractors. It’s a fun romp through the insect-obsessed Tokyo subculture, but not afraid to engage in a deeper discussion of the human-insect relationship. The film asks us what we can actually learn from bugs and then offers Shinto and Buddhist thoughts on the miniature lives of insects; at the same time it’s stylish and fun. There’s a Ferrari involved. There’s a review!
