Film: Bound, 30th Anniversary Screening

Yale FIlm Archive: Sundance Revisited Film Series Bound (Lana & Lilly Wachowski, 1996, 35mm, 109 mins) 30th anniversary screening! Before reinventing sci-fi, the Wachowskis made their knockout neo-noir debut with a film known for its crackling chemistry, relentless suspense, unabashed eroticism, and style to burn. An ex-con fresh out of prison (Gina Gershon) and her alluring new neighbor (Jennifer Tilly) hatch a plot to steal millions from the mob, but first they’ve got to get around a money-laundering boyfriend (Joe Pantoliano) who fights dirty and suspects everyone. “Bound is one of those movies that works you up, wrings you out, and leaves you gasping. It's pure cinema, spread over several genres” (Roger Ebert). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive. Sundance Revisited features a selection of films from our collection that had their American or world premieres at the festival. Yale Film Archive screenings are always free and open to the public.
