The Wachowski brothers

The Wachowski brothers only directed one other film together, Bound.

"For me, stealing's always been a lot like sex. Two people who want the same thing: they get in a room, they talk about it. They start to plan. It's kind of like flirting. It's kind of like... foreplay, 'cause the more they talk about it, the wetter they get. The only difference is, I can fuck someone I've just met. But to steal? I need to know someone like I know myself." ...The Wachowski brothers---->

...The Wachowski Brothers first film was Bound (1996), it's a cool gangster flick. The film is mostly famous for the lesbian subplot between Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon(right). The story starts with the blossoming love between these two, it's a slow begining, but necessary for the film. The film picks up quickly as we move into the 2nd act, when Tilly's mafia boyfriend Ceaser, (played by Matrix's Cypher, actor Joe Pantoliano) brings home 2 million dollars covered in blood. The girls decide to steal the money and frame Ceaser.

...The film gets quite compelling as the plan goes into action, and of course in typical movie fashion, everything doesn't go as planned. The Wachowski's are very effective at building up some very tense moments. Moments your not sure how the characters are going to escape from.

...Bound is an incredible debut film. It shows that from the very start that they know how to plot a film. There is some wonderful photography, they always keep the camera moving, and shoot from interesting angles. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it.

..."It's not a 'lesbian movie'; it's something even more rare--a movie with characters who happen to be lesbians." - M.V. Moorhead, Phoenix New Times, October 10, 1996
