TOM KALIN
Plot
The tale of Loeb and Leopold, the two men who notoriously kidnapped and murdered a young boy in 1924. Kalin's film attempts to rework the story from a new perspective, and succeeds. Excellent characterisation allows the film a penetrating political perspective. Harrowing, but definitely gripping.
