They’re having plenty of fun with the story they’re telling - and it has the audience holding their breath. The writing and directing by the Wachowskis, which is both skillful and playful. The stunning cinematography by Bill Pope. The wonderful score composed by Don Davis. There is no denying that seeing Violet and Corky be intimate with one another is sexy to watch (it’s also the kind of sex scene that would cause Twitter to once again indulge in discourse and debate the very popular topic as to whether or not there should be any sex scenes in movies), but that is only one of the reasons why Bound is worth watching and still worth discussing after almost three decades. (If you’re reading this, and expected me to embed a video of the actual sex scene between Violet and Corky in this article, this message from Dustin is for you…) (FYI: Nearly all of the women who were background extras in that lesbian bar were friends of Susie’s, or as she affectionately called them, “real-life San Francisco dykes.”) Since YouTube wasn’t a thing back in the ’90s, a lot of straight men who enjoy watching lesbian sex sought out the film for that reason only. This leaves both Violet and Corky struggling to stay one step ahead of Caesar, his fellow gangsters, and the Chicago Police Department.ĭepending on who you ask, the main reason why Bound received so much attention when it was originally released was because of the sex scene between Violet and Corky, which was choreographed by writer/sex educator Susie Bright, who makes a cameo in the film as Jessie, a woman in a lesbian bar who Corky flirts with right up until Jessie’s girl announces her presence. Their plan is a brilliant one, but that doesn’t stop things from going absolutely wrong, or Caesar proving to be far more cunning than either of them expected. Violet has also grown tired of being with Caesar and made to feel powerless because of who and what he is, so when he suddenly brings home $2 million that is covered in the blood of a fellow gangster who skimmed it from their boss (and got shot in the head as a result, hence all of the blood), she approaches Corky on coming up with a plan for them to take the money and run while laying all of the blame for it at Caesar’s feet. Violet is not shy in letting Corky know how much she’s attracted to her, and it doesn’t take long for the two of them to finally act on that attraction. This is where she meets Caesar (Joe Pantoliano), a well-connected gangster, and Violet (Jennifer Tilly), his incredibly gorgeous girlfriend, both of whom live next door to the apartment that Corky is currently renovating. After serving five years in prison, Corky (Gina Gershon) is released and given a job doing painting and plumbing in a Chicago apartment building.
