✦ Synopsis


Oggi ricostruire fatti di sangue Γ¨ diventato un intrattenimento di massa - piΓΉ o meno l'unico, si direbbe. Ma c'Γ¨ stata un'epoca non lontana, e peraltro abbastanza sanguinaria, in cui l'assassinio gratuito di un ragazzo da parte di due suoi coetanei veniva presentato, sulle prime pagine di tutti i giornali, come Β«Il delitto del secoloΒ». Accadde a Chicago, negli anni Venti. Due ricchi studenti ebrei, Na-than Leopold e Richard Loeb (che qui si chiamano Judd Steiner e Artie Straus), avevano progettato un delitto perfetto, ma come chiunque indulga a questo genere di fantasticheria finirono per commettere un imprevedibile errore, che li mise rapidamente al centro di un clamoroso processo. Fu un caso che affascinΓ² per decenni i migliori appassionati del crimine, ispirando a Hitchcock β€œNodo alla gola”, e a Meyer Levin questa travolgente indagine, che diventa via via una superba costruzione romanzesca, dove, come in un grande film classico, protagonisti e comprimari - avvocati, reporter, psicoanalisti - fanno fino in fondo, come meglio non si potrebbe, la loro parte.
