Angels And Insects - 1995 - 7/10

William returns from the Amazon, rich in experience, bereft of funds.
Fortunately, a country squire, himself an amateur dabbler, takes a shine to him.
William is hired to organize the haphazard collection, where he soon becomes part of the collection.
Slow moving film is never dull. Family observation on several levels.
From the ant colonies to family dynamics, shrouded in gauze curtains and cryptic remarks.
An absolutely bewitching film of Victorian repression and unease.
Behavior that hardens into habit, unshakeable, rotting from within.
