Green Porno by Isabella Rossellini

5/5 stars

This wonderful series of shorts is spearheaded by filmmaking royalty Isabella, daughter of Roberto Rosellini. Click the link right now because you will be completely mesmerized and need to watch them all.

Isabella plays the agressor in different small animal mating practices. Sometimes she is the male, sometimes the female, if applicable. The tone of these somewhat educational videos is sort of children's-television-like, but these definitely are not for children, even while they are so tastefully executed. For example, while describing her activities as an earthworm, she says, "to have babies I need to mate with another hermaphrodite... in the sixty-nine position." These shorts brilliantly and wittily capture the allure of the mysterious world of insect (series 1) and water-creatre (2) sex.

Her lovely performance and the exquisitely crude costumes and sets make this delightful series a must. I can't even pick a favorite.
