NICE NEW RATTLE

Back to Home Written on 05-Jan-2009 by patencia

What else can a woman do after being Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman's daughter, Martin Scorsesse's wife and David Lynch and Gary Oldman's lover? After becoming a top model at age 28, the face of Lancome for fourteen years and an underground film sex icon at 40?

Becoming a Porn Star? Maybe, but not an ordinary one.

The as-sophisticated-as-devious Isabella Rossellini now makes short (documentary?) films about bug’s sex life. But in her films we see no real animals; she plays their part. "If I were a firefly, I will light up my ass at night; and fly here, and fly there...", says Isabella while swaying her hips from one side to the other, in close up and all dressed up like...well, a firefly. In this way, she explicitly explains us the mating habits of lighting bugs; and also, of bees, earthworms, spiders and a few more insects.

Perhaps Isabella’s strange green turn can be interpreted as a weird concoction of the realist legacy of her father and the surreal wickedness of Lynch.

Anyway, more than a porn star, I would say she’s become a vieja verde.

Hi Paloma,

I am not sure if, as Julio said, it's pathetic or if it's just plain weird. Let me quote myself once more (sorry, big Ego): el poder de los arquetipos

It's just a note about the "mantis" as an common archetype that embodies the femme fatale, the castrating female; the male fear to lose power, to be seduced by the dark light of the unknown (whatever it means).
Check the "insect green" and shape of both women dresses, the pregnancy as a threat, as a sign of clear superiority.

I wonder, dear vampire, why the femme fatale topic is such a constant in your posts.

happy new year!

With instantiations of archetypes as these, it is not surprise that all of us recurrently think of (or unintendedly?? cite) them. [Although... perhaps I may well want to eat/bite them as a mantis... I might prefer to be seduced by the dark light of the known ]

I LOVE this visual comparison, you should exploit it.

As for the pathetism... I have the suspicion that that would be a response devious-Isabella may like to trigger (although perhaps not in these short films...).

Alberto's note is great! And a great finding!

The images, like the ghosts appear when you call them.

Going back to Isabella Rosellini, the castrating mantis and the femme fatale:

Not sure if the dress is green or blue or something in between, but the "fabric" is similar.
