Although Ms. Thomas isn't featured front row center in this film, she plays a darn good 19th century British biologist (hard to recognize her as she is dressed down quite a bit, esp. relative to Patsy Kensit) in this visually beautiful (like Greenaway's films) story of marriage and family gone dead wrong (hint: "Insect" is an anagram).About "Mimic"--Mira Sorvino was on Jay Leno promoting that film, but she made it a hilarious interview by using her "Mighty Aphrodite" dim-bulb voice to read her genetic-engineering entomology speech near the beginning of the film (explaining how science stopped their plague). Boy, I'd love a videotape of that speech!
