Three years before the Wachowskis released The
Matrix, their debut, Bound, was already one of the most
visually stunning crime thrillers of the 1990s. This intense, erotic neo-noir
crime thriller stars Gina Gershon as
Corky, an ex-con who, after a torrid love affair with neighbor Violet (Jennifer Tilly), joins forces with her
to dupe her gangster boyfriend Caesar (Joe
Pantoliano) out of $2 million of laundered mob cash. This edge-of-your-seat
thriller was a mold-breaker of queer
cinema, as mainstream films featuring complex queer characters were still rare in
1990s Hollywood. (1996, USA, 109 mins, R, English | Dir. Lana &
Lilly Wachowski)
