How Did They Turn a Compelling Story into a Boring Endurance Test?
The story is intense, compelling, and extraordinary. Genesis loves Lady Jaye, and she loves him. Instead of having children, they decide to artificially alter themselves to fuse their identities, essentially mutating into surgically-enhanced twins. She gets rhinoplasty to mimic his nose. He gets breast implants and lip injections to look like her. Though not specifically mentioned, it’s inferred that there are lots of drugs on board.As a lover of performance art, I was excited and curious about the premise and execution of this “pandrogynous” experiment. Then how did the director make such a bland, slow, and boring movie? Why was there so much concert footage? Seriously, it felt like there was 20 minutes near the end that was just industrial garage-band noise. And since this story is essentially a love story, why are there no interviews with Lady Jaye? I realize that her availability was unexpectedly limited, but there’s lots and lots if footage of her, but never her voice or perspective.
This film was disappointing and tedious, and could have been so much more.
A very touching film about love
This is possibly one of the most engrossing love films I have ever seen. I won’t attempt to deny the detractors who say it’s mostly about Genesis, but it is his/her story and it is a fascinating and engrossing one about the power of love, art, and how they are essentially one and the same. I call it a love film, but it really captures the feelings of connection and loss that Genesis dealt with. It’s a fascinating look at two fascinating individuals who took life by the balls and yanked.It made me smile, it made me laugh, and it made me feel how love can conquer death. The only complaint was that the behind-the-scenes footage was inserted to pump up the running time. But I can’t complain because it shows Genesis as she truly is: fun-loving, full of mischief, and someone who is mourning for a loss that translates very well. It’s a surprising powerful film, and I’m very glad I had the chance to see it.
