What? Sorry, but LOL. You mean there isn’t enough nature film to illustrate this? Isabella is brave. You gotta love her.

She wrote this? And directed it? Who is the audience? People with bug fetishes?

OK, I guess you had to be there to get the point. I missed it entirely.

Wow does Isabella start looking more and more like her mother over the years. I have a super bizarre sense of humor and love quirky film. But i have to admit… this one I don’t get. It’s just boring.

Kelly.. Not only does she look a lot like her mother - listening to Isabella is almost like listening to Ingrid Bergman. As for the film… Well, I hope she likes it herself!

Now that I’ve thought it over - a huge metaphor.

My husband came in and talked to me near the end so I thought I missed something, played it again, nope didn’t miss a thing.

I laughed at the bizarreness of it! Check out the website to understand why she is doing this. Also see the video where she is a snail. I think it’s great.

Wow! Isabella Rossellini. She’s something else. These shorts shouldn’t surprise too many people who saw her in “Blue Velvet”. Dark. Strange. Also in other films where she’s almost not “in” the picture. The insect thing is a bit beyond the pale but…makes me think of the discussion on another thread re: freedom of speech (expression). To each her own, I guess!
