Isabella and Darwin
5 Episodes
Art-house legend Isabella Rossellini’s long-standing fascination with the process of evolution and the work of Charles Darwin inspires this series of enlightening short and mid-length films, which delve into some of the pioneering naturalist’s most fascinating, confounding, and provocative theories. With boundless curiosity and the same offbeat creativity she brought to her acclaimed GREEN PORNO series, Rossellini—abetted at times by an imagined Darwin himself—explores the origins of animal behavior in order to better understand both the natural world and our own selves.
