Darwin, What?

In this film, Isabella Rossellini finds herself in quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic. During this time, she decides to dive into the works of Charles Darwin. However, the heavy nature of Darwin's writings leads her to fall asleep while reading.

As she dreams, Darwin's ghost visits her, initiating a discussion about emotions and their expressions. Given Isabella's background as an actress, the conversation centers around Darwin's hypotheses presented in his book "On the Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals." He posits that basic emotional expressions, much like anatomical features, are influenced by evolution.

This film offers a fascinating intersection of literature, science, and performance, making it appealing for collectors interested in thought-provoking content that blends different genres and themes. Its contemporary setting and unique premise contribute to its relevance in today's cultural climate.
