From the lust-soaked neo-noir Bound to the culture-defining world of The Matrix, filmmaking duo Lana and Lilly Wachowski have been building worlds, pushing boundaries, and telling stories of emerging consciousness, the paradox of choice, and the transcendence of self since 1996.
“Love liberates all” has been the dominant theme for the Wachowskis, even behind their most monumental CGI spectacles like Jupiter Ascending and Speed Racer. They travel space and time in Cloud Atlas, using a mosaic of humanity to tell the narrative. Their bold characters are constantly pushing to discover their true selves, and the true world around them. Lana and Lilly Wachowski stand tall as two of the most prominent trans women in entertainment history, and have changed the landscape of the modern blockbuster forever with the Matrix saga alone.
