The Mating of Art House and Discovery Channel

Oh, Isabella Rossellini is absolutely insane. The Italian actress is known mainly for her role in Blue Velvet. She was that crazy woman running around. I've seen the movie twice and still cannot really explain what her problem was. Anyways, the point is that this woman is the great mind behind Green Porno. In these short films, produced by the Sundance Channel, Rossellini dresses up as a variety of insects and narrates exactly how these bugs reproduce. It seems like a joke, but the classic way she delivers her lines proves that she means business. The short films are very laughable in the sense that they are insanely ridiculous and also highly avante garde and artistic. However I found myself unable to turn away, as the sexual lives of insects really are pretty interesting. I highly recommend the Bee film, and the Praying Mantis film.
