Bound
Retrospective
Before Lana and Lilly Wachowski blew the world’s mind with The Matrix, they had a ball with this delicious debut, which offers an unexpected sapphic spin on the classic neo-noir crime genre. When butch plumber Corky catches the eye of alluring femme fatale Violet, little does she know she’s about to be drawn into both a torrid love affair and a high-stakes scheme to rob the mob. Violet’s boyfriend Caesar launders dirty money, but she has other plans for it – and maybe not just for the money. Who can trust whom? With crackling dialogue, luscious cinematography, and live-wire performances from all three leads, Bound is a genre-redefining joyride that keeps both the tension and the erotic heat rising with every crazy twist.
