Wiki.
Swoon is a 1992 American crime drama film written, directed, and edited by Tom Kalin in his feature directorial debut. It stars Craig Chester and Daniel Schlachet, with Michael Kirby, Michael Stumm, and Ron Vawter in supporting roles. It recounts the 1924 Leopold and Loeb murder case, focusing more on the homosexuality of the killers than other films based on the case. Swoon is considered an integral part of the New Queer Cinema movement.
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 1992, where it won Best Cinematography. It was theatrically released in the United States on September 11, 1992, by Fine Line Features. It won two awards at the Berlin International Film Festival and received four Independent Spirit Award nominations.
