Yes, it is an utterly bizarre world that Genesis and Lady Jaye inhabit, but the thing that sticks with you the most is the love and affection that they genuinely feel for each other and their group of friends/colleagues. The assemblage of audio and video forms a disorientating peak into their lives together, and the work that they created.
If nothing else, the anarchic, freewheeling spirit of the film evokes the music, short films and performance pieces of Genesis P’orridge and Lady Jaye. Their singular vision as artists – that their bodies and love affair was the creation of a new gender identity – is reflected in the hodgepodge assortment of clips randomly clipped together in-between the basic narrative of how they met, began their love affair and art project, and how Lady Jaye succumbed to cancer.
If the films adherence to resembling their chaotic creation process and work in how it was edited together, it seems safe to say that it wears and grates towards the end. Even at a slim 72 minute running time, it seems not like they ran out of unique things to say or highlight from the couple, but ways in which to say them. But beneath all of the fussiness is a true portrait of a singular, deeply caring and loving couple. They respect and admire each other, and show a genuine urge to bring out the best in each other. It is an unconventional relationship, but it is proof positive that love comes in various shapes and sizes, that each couple is its own unique entity, and, in the end, we always remember those who touched our lives the deepest and they’re never truly gone or forgotten because the love will remain, forever.
