This documentary was filmed in 1979 after a book which shares the same title. It proves that yes, time-lapse IS the greatest film effect of all time -- capturing and speeding-up seedlings, fungi, and flowers -- emphasizing eerily human-like movements and motives that we tend to overlook because of their seemingly-static pace.
Plus they document a bunch of really crazy-interesting experiments such as a lady teaching a cactus Japanese and recording the vibrations of a cabbage to test plant consciousness.
These reasons and more are why this movie is so visually amazing and intriguing. And, as if a time-lapsed, Japanese-speaking cabbage wasn't enough -- the music by Stevie Wonder is equally as trippy!
11 parts? Inconvenient? Maybe. But very worth at least skipping-through!
Enjoy!
