Please join Michael and Đà Nẵng Film Forum for a screening of Lana and Lilly Wachowski's sharp, stylish 1996 American crime film Bound.
Corky (Gina Gershon) has just finished five years in prison and is picking up work as a painter and plumber, fixing up an empty apartment in a Chicago building. Next door live Violet (Jennifer Tilly) and her boyfriend Caesar (Joe Pantoliano), who launders money for the mob. The walls are thin, and Corky hears more than she should. Before long Violet comes knocking, and the two women fall into an affair fast. Violet wants out, and she has a plan: Caesar is about to be left holding two million dollars of mob money. All they need is for Caesar to take the blame, and Caesar is far more dangerous than he looks.
This was the Wachowskis' first feature, three years before The Matrix. It's a small film, set almost entirely across two apartments and a hallway, but they move the camera all over that space, at one point following a ringing phone line from one room into the next. Gershon and Tilly have great chemistry, and Pantoliano is terrific as a man coming apart over one very long night.
Film Club selections are screened in their original languages and shown with both English and Vietnamese subtitles.
Discussion will follow the screening.
