Isabella Rossellini is brilliant. I loved her weird and amazing
Green Porno
and
Seduce Me
series, in which she dressed up like various animals and explained a bizarre part of their sex lives (and most of the costumes were made of elaborate paper replicas--even a duck's corckscrew penis).
Now, in honor of Mother's Day, Sundance has a new series, titled
Mammas
, a series of shorts that look at "creatures' rites of passage into motherhood" that also brings up topics of a woman's right to choose and other politically charged topics.
Who else other than this former model and confident member of movie royalty would have the courage to makes herself over as a hamster, cuckoo, spider, dunnock, wasp, and toad--and eat her babies? The shorts are now available on
SundanceChannel.com
.
