Movies: ‘Swoon’ at Billy Wilder Theater

The tale of Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb is one of the most lurid and perpetually compelling in crime noir. Collegiate lovers who murdered a child for kicks in 1924, their sexual relationship had gone under-explored in dramatic retellings. 1992’s “Swoon” takes a whole look at the psychology of the relationship that resulted in one of America’s most famous murder cases. It’s preceded by the decidedly more cheery “Jollies,” a documentary of a young lesbian’s self-discovery. Billy Wilder Theater, 10899 Wilshire Blvd., L.A. 7:30 p.m. Fri. $9. https://www.cinema.ucla.edu
