GREEN PORNO: Fly

Anchovy orgies, sadomasochistic snails, and hermaphrodite worms—Isabella Rossellini reveals the wacky, kinky, confounding mating rituals of insects and marine life in this blissfully bonkers, utterly singular short-film series. With brightly colored costumes and paper puppets, Rossellini acts out a panoply of reproductive oddities: the praying mantis that consumes its partner while copulating; the male bee who loses his penis in the act; and the shrimp that shimmies seductively out of its shell before getting it on. Part nature documentary, part DIY cartoon, Green Porno is a cheekily hilarious, gonzo zoology lesson propelled by Rossellini’s irrepressible charisma.
