Rossellini's GREEN PORNO back for season 3

Isabella Rossellini has had a long and distinguished career as an actress and model, with unforgettable roles in such films as Blue Velvet and Death Becomes Her. But lately she's been winning over a whole new following with Green Porno, her own series of squirmingly peculiar short films for the Sundance Channel.

The films feature Rossellini explaining the sex lives of various animals. But Rossellini doesn't just explain - she becomes the animals, dressing up in crude costumes and acting out some of nature's most appalling sexual practices with a naughty grin on her face. (That she usually takes on the male role in these scenes just ups the weirdness even more.) The series manages to be educational, cute, disgusting and hilarious all at once.

The new season focuses on undersea creatures, and makes some pretty major changes to the format. There is less of the squirmy sex puppet stuff, and an increased focus on conservation, with each clip ending with a little seaside lecture from biologist Dr. Claudio Campagna. You can watch the episodes on the Sundance Channel website (do I even need to tell you these clips are probably not safe for work?). Rossellini also has a Green Porno book and DVD set out now, availble at Amazon by clicking the link to the left, over there.
