Insect Synopsis
The Dung Beetle is late, the Parasite is asleep and Mrs Larva is more interested in her knitting than the director’s instructions. It’s clear: this amateur theatre company has a long way to go before they can perform their version of "The Insect Play", a famous satirical work from 1922 by the brothers Karel and Josef Čapek which features insects with decidedly human traits: greed, egocentrism, jealousy.
Insect (2018) is a comedy and drama film directed by Jan Švankmajer, released on February 19, 2018 with a runtime of 1h 38m. It stars Jan Budař, Jiří Lábus, Norbert Lichý and Jaromír Dulava. Viewers rate it 5.6 out of 10 across 17 ratings.
