GREEN PORNO: Why Vagina
2009
Director
Synopsis
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.
