The Sound of Insects is a very taxing aesthetic experience, and one which does not appear tax with an eye to rewarding the viewer in the end, but which seems content merely to tax and toss out a few nice images at intervals. As an adaptation of a novel which was itself an adaptation of a diary, it almost provides a template of what not to do, namely, to let the narration overwhelm the visual aspect of the work, which is finally the raison d’être of cinema.”
