Peaches Goes Bananas

Not to be confused with Teaches of Peaches...having never heard of Peaches [apart from being a guest judge on Canada's Drag Race], it is quite something to have two feature length documentaries made about the same person, in the same year. Why all the [sudden] interest in this performance artiste?

She is - most definitely - an acquired taste...as is this film. Marie Losier's haphazard approach to filmmaking is her distinguishable trademark and, coupled with Peaches' mad antics, the result is more slap-dash than refined. But...do we get to see what makes Peaches tick? No, not really. Does that matter? No, not really - unless you are fully invested in the Peachesphere. She may come across as a loose cannon...but, her roots are as conservative as a gingham tablecloth.

Peaches is an act, a stage persona who seems to be over-stepping their mark...by increasingly invading Merrill's personal space. If a line was drawn, it is becoming blurrier with the passing of time...perhaps, it is a symbiotic relationship...alas, we'll never know, this film merely scratches the surface. Perhaps Teaches of Peaches goes deeper...you never know until you watch it!
