Butches, Femmes and S-Bends
Bound is a LGBTQ+ neo noir thriller. Written and directed by the Wachowskis in their feature film directorial debut.
Violet (Jennifer Tilly) wants out of a box of an apartment she lives in with her unhinged mobster boyfriend Ceasar (Joe Pantoliano). When Corky (Gina Gershon) arrives, fresh out of jail, to fix up the apartment next door, the two women strike up a steamy love affair and hatch a plan to steal $2 million from Caesar and his associates – but if you’re going to mess with the mob, you’d better be sure you do it right…
Bound is interested in boxes - the boundaries, the contents and the messiness that spills out. It plays with genre and gender expectations and encourages the audience to explore their own implicit biases.
