Isabella Rossellini

"I was always fascinated by the infinite‚ strange and ′scandalous′ ways that insects copulate." − Isabella Rossellini When Isabella Rossellini and The Sundance Channel set out to make a series of short films for the internet about the sex lives of animals‚ they had no idea what was in store. GREEN PORNO‚ the colorful‚ indescribable‚ wonderfully odd shorts became a sensation on the internet‚ receiving over 1.3 million views and major national publicity including CNN‚ David Letterman‚ The New York Times Magazine‚ Wired and the Wall Street Journal. The overwhelming success of the shorts led Sundance to commission a second GREEN PORNO series which is to focus on marine animals: shrimp‚ squid seals etc. (The first series focused primarily on insects) Co−director Jody Shapiro has taken 125 arresting film stills of Isabella dressed in animal costumes which are the centerpiece of the book‚ along with narrative text describing the "love making" process of each animal. Each chapter will also include a quirky‚ freakonomics style one−sheet that includes surprising facts about each species. GREEN PORNO also includes a DVD of both GREEN PORNO series which are not available for sale elsewhere. Provocative‚ hilarious‚ and truly one of a kind‚ GREEN PORNO is a great gift−−for readers of Michael Pollan and fans of independent film alike. Isabella has committed to promoting the book at the time of publication. Praise for GREEN PORNO FILMS "Shocking‚ whimsical‚ entertaining"−Shine "[Rossellini] plays the male of each species in splendidly kitschy home−made costumes‚ while explaining the procedures in a humorous running commentary"− Telegraph "Bright colors‚ goofy leotard−based costumes‚ undulating foam rubber−it′s hot stuff."−Playboy "Magical" − The Flog "Rossellini′s subjects carry the weight of a fierce‚ natural morality."− Border Crossings "A funny and insightful study of the curious ways various bugs "make love." − Hot Docs 2008 "Rossellini has really done the unexpected"− The Auteurs

A Book and Short Films by Isabella Rossellini

Green Porno

"When a cardboard carton dotted with airholes arrived at her door, Isabelle Rossellini expected to welcome thirty-eight yellow chicks to her Long Island farm. Much to her surprise, her newly hatched brood included a diverse mix of heritage breeds - a discovery that prompted further research into the traits, behaviors, and history of each one. Pairing wry observations and fun facts with charming photographs by Patrice Casanova and hand-drawn illustrations by Isabella herself, My Chickens and I perfectly captures the fine-feathered glory and surprising intelligence of these spirited backyard birds."--Back cover.

My Chickens and I

Lothar Schirmer

Her part as Ilsa Lund in Casablanca (1942) co-starring Humphrey Bogart made Ingrid Bergman (born in Stockholm in 1915) a Hollywood icon, followed by the Hemingway adaptation For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) with Gary Cooper, Cukor's Gaslight (1944) and Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945). Reflecting Ingrid Bergman's career and based on the family archive, this photo book features unpublished pictures that her father Justus took when she was a young and aspiring actress in Stockholm, film stills, and famous paparazzi shots. A breathtaking beauty, she was famous for her affair with photographer Robert Capa and her controversial marriage with Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini, with whom she had three children. Ingrid Bergman received three Academy Awards: Gaslight (Best Actress, 1945), Anastasia (Best Actress, 1956), Murder on the Orient Express (Best Supporting Actress, 1975).

Ingrid Bergman: A Life in Pictures

Les stars ont souvent du mal à penser leur image. Ce n'est pas vraiment le cas d'Isabella Rossellini avec son " Sur-Moi ", comme elle a baptisé sa collection de portraits réalisés par les plus grands photographes. C'est à une fête pour les yeux qu'elle nous convie dans Looking at me - une fête aussi pour l'esprit. Cette femme, dont la beauté se prête à merveille à la photographie, feuillette sous nos yeux ses portraits d'elle préférés, et les commente avec beaucoup de finesse, d'humour aussi, d'ironie parfois. Looking at me retrace son extraordinaire carrière : un temps journaliste sportif auprès du boxeur Muhammad Ali, elle est devenue célèbre comme mannequin de mode et modèle pour des parfums, puis comme actrice de cinéma dans des rôles de composition avant de créer sa propre ligne de cosmétiques, Manifesto. Mais Isabella nous fait aussi entrer dans son intimité, avec ses enfants, sa chienne Macaroni, son cochon Spanky. Le charme et l'intelligence d'Isabella Rossellini ont inspiré des photographes comme Richard Avedon, Peter Lindbergh, Patrick Demarchelier, Miles Aldridge, Fabrizio Ferri, Eve Arnold, Michel Comte, Horst P Horst, Irving Penn, Ellen von Unwerth, Annie Leibovitz, Bruce Weber, Steven Meisel, Brigitte Lacombe, Paolo Roversi, Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, Anton Corbijn, et des réalisateurs comme David Lynch ou Wim Wenders. En retour, elle a conçu ce livre plein d'esprit, aussi passionnant à lire qu'à regarder.
