Lana & Lilly Wachowski 

"To be free, you cannot change your cage. You have to change yourself. When I used to look out at this world, all I could see was its edges, its boundaries, its rules and controls, its leaders and laws. But now, I see another world. A different world where all things are possible. A world of hope. Of peace.” —Lana & Lilly Wachowski (THE MATRIX)

The Wachowskis & the Cinema of Fluidity

From underground neo-noir to big-budget sci-fi to globe-spanning queer optimism, the films of Lana and Lilly Wachowski have consistently challenged cinematic norms—and audience expectations.

In this limited series, we explore the full body of work from two of the most visionary and divisive filmmakers of the modern era. Starting with their audacious debut BOUND, through their genre-defining cultural phenomenon THE MATRIX, and into their later, more polarizing works like SPEED RACER, CLOUD ATLAS, and JUPITER ASCENDING, we trace the Wachowskis’ evolution as artists and storytellers.

Along the way, we take deep dives into their television work (Sense8), collaborations (V FOR VENDETTA), and long-awaited return to the simulation with THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS. Across every project, we examine how their cinema explores identity, transformation, love, resistance, and above all—fluidity.
