This Saturday, Sat-Ur-Gay Cinema Club presents Bound at 2 PM.

Before revolutionizing sci-fi with The Matrix, directors Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski made their feature debut with this stylish neo-noir thriller. When Corky and Violet set out to steal millions from the mob, sparks fly and the stakes quickly spiral out of control.

A landmark q***r film packed with suspense, chemistry, and twists.
