The Banger Sisters, unappreciated upon its release 20 years ago, has become a fascinating look at where second-wave feminism was at as the new millennium began. panther_BL explains:
“Jim Morrison is a ghost, and so are you,” a young disgruntled suit barks at Suzette in the back hallway of Whisky a Go Go. Once an infamous barmaid of the celebrated L.A. music club, Suzette is having trouble with this new management. He disapproves of her beatnik shades, low-cut tanks and loose approach to work. She tries to convince him that she’s the spirit of the place and the last to remember a bygone era, but this manager couldn’t care less. He has a younger, edgier clientele to cater to.
Hawn sets the tone right off the bat. She embodies the hip chick who keeps things cool. She’s always in controlled flight, drifting, with effortless humor and gentleness, through each scene. Suzette is the film’s muse that keeps the narrative flowing and easy-going. Without intending to, these characters represent different trajectories of second-wave feminism. Suzette clung to the central ideas of personal liberty, bodily autonomy and sexual self-ownership, which got her laid but in debt. Suzette’s life and debt arise because of the social dismissal of these sexually free women as they mature, especially if they were lower class. The spirit of feminism she believed in failed to provide for her materially.
are underwritten, but it’s because the men are more metaphors than meaningful. Both are caricatures of the masculinities that prevent the dreams of second-wave feminism from fully blooming. Harry , the agoraphobic, fastidious writer with a death wish that Suzette picks up in the desert, needs to exert control and dominance over every space. He disrupts all of Suzette’s attempts to relax.
