Review of Swoon (1992) by Nina O — 09 Jan 2008

Let's just get this out there-it's an artsy film. Not super artsy like Van Sant's "Elephant" but the infulence of a director who was once a art major is there. That being said, this film is a classic in it's own right (which makes it a shame more people don't know about it) and ushered in-along with films like Poison, Edward II and The Living End- what is now called "New Queer Cinema". The lead actors, Craig and Daniel, were amazing and you actually believed they were in love plus it's amazing to see what can be done with so little. Kudos to the DP.

All and all Kalin's film is a finely crafted journey of passion and crime and what seperates the two.

This is our Bonnie and Clyde.
