Isabella Rossellini Does “Green Porno”

Um.
Does Isabella Rossellini have an insect sex fetish? Probably not, but she sure likes talking about their mating habits. You know, for educational purposes. Check out the following:
PARK CITY, UTAH — Among the lurid tales of sex and violence that haunt the Sundance Film Festival screens, there are few more gruesome and titillating than those of Green Porno, a series of short films made by Isabella Rossellini and her Canadian collaborators.The films, in which Rossellini dresses up as bugs, worms and snails, and simultaneously describes and demonstrates their mating behaviour, start out mildly enough. The actress with the round, angelic movie-star face begins speaking directly to the camera: “If I were a dragon fly, I would have compound eyes … ”
An instant later, the compound eyes appear on her face. Soon, she’s describing and demonstrating how she would take her clasping organs and grab her female partner: “I would clean her vagina to make sure she would only have my babies …If I were a firefly, I would light up my ass at night and I would fly here and I would fly there …”
Wow.
I am honestly speechless. Never quite expected this from ole Izzy, but then again, it somehow doesn’t seem that surprising…
No mention of the praying mantis, who bites the head off of her partner, after mating. . .
Well, anyone who’s seen “Blue Velvet” can’t be too surprised….
