Join us as SoKno Pride presents the Wachowski Sisters’ electric 1996 debut, underseen in the post-PULP FICTION crime movie shuffle but now recognized as a sapphic classic of neo-noir fun.

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.

“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
