Angels & Insects

Cinema facts

• The co-writers of the script are a husband-and-wife team, whose children appear in the film
• For one scene the actress Patsy Kensit's costume had to be treated with female sex hormones of moths to make a cluster of male moths swarm her
• Four days before the shoot date, 6.000 ants that were transported to the set walked off. Another 6.000 ants were obtained...only to watch as the first batch of 6.000 returned.
• The film caused some scandal in America because in one scene actor Douglas Henshall leaves the bed of a woman and gets dressed while his penis is erect, something almost non-existent in mainstream American film. For this reason alone the film received an NC-17 rating.
