Peaches Goes Bananas
A daring portrait of the feminist electro-punk icon.
Peaches is one of the most influential artists on the feminist music scene. She began performing in cramped basements, only to draw massive crowds to festival stages a few years later. Her success comes from radical, irresistibly catchy songs and electrifying performances full of irony and subversive eroticism. She’s made a name for herself by fearlessly shattering social stereotypes and taboos around sex and women’s roles in society. Marie Losier has created an intimate portrait of this bold, multifaceted artist, but here, “intimate” has nothing to do with sexuality or the body—subjects Peaches already sings (or even shouts) about on stage. Instead, Losier takes us to places and moments that go beyond what you’d ever see at a concert. On camera, Peaches talks about her family, flips through childhood photos, and shows us how she spends time with her boyfriend. This film is simultaneously a dynamic concert chronicle, a raw backstage report, and a home video capturing surprisingly ordinary moments in the life of an extraordinarily unique person.
