8/10
A documentary on Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV's Genesis P-orridge and her partner, Lady Jaye. Together they set about transforming themselves into a pandrogynous entity, getting surgeries to look like each other (Genesis, born a man, has breast implants, and so does Lady Jaye, a woman, etc), and essnetially to become the other. Marie Losier's documentary does a good job juggling the various facets of Genesis/Jaye's life - early 80's industrial music, performance art, gender confusion, current life, etc. It might be a bit too "arty" at times when it should be informative, but it's a very good representation of Genesis/Jaye and everything they entail. You walk out of the movie feeling very connected in some way to the two (one?).
