Nocturnes

‘...a documentary that is immediately, powerfully, and above all cinematically convincing.‘

‘Nocturnes is intimate and expansive – breathtakingly vivid in its sensory, aural design.‘

‘Dazzling. An introspective and captivating documentary. An unexpected experience.‘

‘Srinivasan and Dutta reject a didactic approach to their storytelling by embracing a gentle touch to their narrative, they invite the audience to become observers or scientists themselves by considering the question, ‘If we listen to nature, what does it tell us?’‘

‘The audio experience that accompanies the film is incredibly unique and invokes powerful feelings of the natural world.‘

‘The film acknowledges science and the scientists but eventually makes them a conduit for the viewer to experience the many mysteries of nature and value and appreciate it for the gift that it is for humanity.‘

‘A gently mesmeric documentary explores these enigmatic insects and the people who study them.‘

‘Dutta and Srinivasan’s understated approach shows research and nature in action without pretending to make a forest give up its secrets.‘

‘Nocturnes’ confounding combination of concern and tranquility sprouts surprising feelings of hope – and in the wake of this hope, motivation. The world may be ending, but Nocturnes provides one more beautiful reason why our efforts matter. Insignificant as we may think moths to be, their longevity reflects ours.‘
