sifting the grain
The wise ones fashioned speech with their thought, sifting it as grain is sifted through a sieve.
“Every country is good for different reasons. They are like different fruits. But Egypt is my favorite. Egypt is like a mango.”

Mammas
Isabella Rossellini. Love.
“Isabella Rossellini’s Mammas is an unsentimental look at motherhood — very unsentimental. The mothers in this new series of film shorts take multiple husbands, abandon their young, even cannibalize them. And they take maternal self-sacrifice to an extreme, letting their hungry young devour them.
The mothers in these films are, respectively, a dunnock, a cuckoo, a hamster, and a spider. As in her previous series, the celebratedGreen Porno, Rossellini wrote, directed, and stars as the creatures, setting herself in imaginative scenarios and costumes she describes as “ridiculous.” (Portraying a brown toad, she wears what seems to be a trash bag.)
She is perhaps the only renowned film actress to fully embrace the medium of the web video. But while the videos are a far cry from David Attenborough’s nature docs, Rossellini’s interest in animals is serious, and as each mother explains her childrearing strategy, Rossellini has her facts straight. Rossellini is working on her master’s degree in animal behavior at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. “As a semiretired actress, like any retired person, you always fear boredom,” she says. “As I worked less as a model and an actress because of age, I was always interested in animal behavior, and I thought I’d go back and study it.”
