Bound

Sparks fly when Violet (Jennifer Tilly) sets eyes on Corky (Gina Gershon) in an elevator. Violet is the girlfriend of a violent gangster, Caesar (Joe Pantoliano), while Corky is fresh out of prison and doing renovations on the apartment next door. As the two women launch into a passionate love affair, they assemble an intricate plan for Violet to escape from Caesar, with two million dollars of the mob’s money — but the important part is to make it out alive.

Join us before the screening in the Take 3 Wine Bar & Café for a special Noirvember “unhappy hour.” Period attire encouraged!

"It's a complex, satisfying piece of entertainment, a succession of unexpected, outrageous scenes."
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
"The true pleasures of Bound lie in the Wachowskis' inventive updated take on film noir traditions, sensuously realized by cinematographer Bill Pope (Clueless)."
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
