Title: Bound (1996)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Gina Gershon, Jennifer Tilly
Description: Tilly is the frustrated wife of a low-level mobster, and Gershon is her new-found lesbian girlfriend; together they hatch a plot to make off with a stash of the mob's money. Gershon is shown in three brief precursor scenes, bound hand and foot and cleave-gagged on the floor of a closet. The first is during the film's opening credits, the second about 40 minutes in and the third at the beginning of the main bondage sequence about 20 minutes from the end. When Tilly's husband figures her and Gershon out, he knocks both unconscious in respective struggles and ties each with her ankles together and her hands behind her back. He lays Gershon on the floor before him, and places Tilly in a chair. When he leaves the room for a moment, Tilly slides onto the floor to try and help Gershon, but before she can, he returns with a pair of tin snips, gags Tilly with a thick knotted cleave, and threatens to cut off her fingers one at a time unless Gershon tells him where the money is. Then his door buzzer sounds, and, after again knocking Gershon out, he carries her-now also cleave-gagged as in the precursor scenes-into the closet, then lifts Tilly over his shoulder to carry her into the bathroom, where he lays her on the floor with her back propped up against a wall. After he convinces her to help him hide the situation from the mob enforcers on their way up to the apartment, there is a shot of Tilly untying her ankles. Once the gangsters leave, Tilly runs for it, and while her husband chases her, Gershon manages to open the closet doors and writhe over to where he left the tin snips, which she uses to escape.
