Bug Sex! Performed By Isabella Rossellini! So weird!
WTF! is in this case literally appropriate, because "Green Porno" is about insect - and worm, and spider, and snail - sex. It's the most mind-bendingly strange work I've seen lately. You'll have to see it for yourself to believe it. Isabella Rossellini wrote, stars in, and often directs this series of shorts first shown at the Sundance Festival and now available for streaming on the Sundance Channel site. It's also available on mobile phones via Helio. In fact, "Green Porno" was conceived both out of thoughts about ecology and a desire to experiment with art for mobile. Seriously, this is wonderfully strange stuff, with the still quite beautiful actress ("Blue Velvet") applying her abundant charm to topics like worm anuses and fly humping. She acts them all out by herself, in full-body costumes so simple yet so vivid as to be almost abstract, like the sets. "Green Porno" made me think of everything from German expressionist filmmaking to 1960s kid shows. Did I mention the worm anus?
