Tom Kalin's Swoon gives the truest account yet of one of the 20th century's most notorious crimes: The 1924 thrill-kill murder of a 13-year-old boy in south-side Chicago by genius college students and lovers Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. It's the same story that inspired Hitchcock's Rope and Meyer Levin's novel Compulsion but Swoon forces its driving homoeroticism into the daylight (not to mention the Jewishness of both killers and victim). Featuring the legendary Ron Vawter as the prosecuting state's attorney Swoon flexes its brainy elegance to question the queerness of the case and even extends the story to reveal how each of the imprisoned duo met his eventual death. A former member of New York's ACT UP and the AIDS activist collective Gran Fury Kalin is bracingly indifferent to the tyranny of positive images where same-sex desire is concerned and Swoon in its defiance and its lyrical intelligence stands peerless within the last century's queerly-inclined cinema.
In Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions Rikka Version, it's just so not fair! Sure, Rikka may be a 'chunibyo' afflicted with a state where she's convinced that she has hidden powers.

This slick series shares the same basic concept as its British counterpart--centering on a group of gay friends living in a primarily industrial city--but after that all bets are off.
