Watch it once
Swoon tells the story of Leopold and Lobe with homosexuality constantly in mind, because it was important (or at least everyone at the time it actually happened believed it was important). This film points out how the trial focused on their homosexuality, using authentic court transcripts, despite the murder having nothing to do with sexual orientation. This mirrors Michael Foucault’s History of Sexuality regarding the policing of sexuality. Thought-provoking.Although a bit confusing at times, a movie worth watching once. Perhaps do a bit of research on the background of the case to supplement the film.
Very Satisfying.
Another biopic of the Leopold and Loeb case – this one took an interestng angle by sensationalizing their sexual relationship, which would’ve been unheard of in the former “Rope” and “Compulsion”. A neat idea.The cinematography is gorgeous and it housed some very great, sombre atmosphere.
When you weren’t drooling over the men’s fashion photography, you were thrown head on into one of the strangest relationships ever put on film. Recommended.
