    Alternativa, freaky, punk. La pandroginia es la nueva carne fragmentada por la visión de Burroughs.

    Wonderful stream of conscious documentary about the life and career of Genesis P-Orridge.

    Review by Shelley Marshall ★★½

    This is a fascinating story about how Genesis P-Orridge (lead singer of Throbbing Gristle & Psychic TV) and his wife Lady Jaye undergo an experiment in pandrogeny. They attempt to merge their identities through plastic surgery to look alike among other things. This film was tedious to sit through and I didn't feel like I got to know enough about Jaye. This could have been so much better given such unique subject matter.

    Review by Eric Bresler ★★

    A tabloid-like biopic disguised as an art film; occasionally interesting, but the avant-garde filler gets tiresome.
