Green Porno+
6 Seasons
Ever wondered about the sadomasochistic sex lives of snails? Or about the cannibalistic maternal instincts of hamsters? Wonder no more, for the one and only Isabella Rossellini explains it all in these singularly strange and delightful short films that combine science, performance art, and DIY puppetry to illuminate the intimate, unexpected oddities of the natural world. Across a trio of acclaimed series—GREEN PORNO, SEDUCE ME, and MAMMAS—Rossellini enacts the animal kingdom’s most surprising habits and rituals for a surreal biology course unlike any other. They’re presented alongside her other recent work as a filmmaker, which further grapples with the animal kingdom by exploring Darwin’s theory of evolution.
