The Sound of Insects: Record of a Mummy

The Sound of Insects: Record of a Mummy

6.8/10 2009 1h 27m Released
Documentary

The incredible story of how the mummified corpse of a 40-year-old man was discovered by a hunter in one of the most remote parts of the country. The dead man's detailed notes reveal that he actually committed suicide through self-imposed starvation only the summer before. Liechti's film is a stunning rapprochement of a fictional text, which itself is based upon a true event: a cinematic manifesto for life, challenged by the main character's radical renunciation of life itself.

Director: Peter Liechti
