Zeno Graton's electrifying and self-assured debut captures a love of rare strength and sensitivity while also examining prevailing notions of masculinity, sexuality, and power structures through a different lens. The Lost Boys is born at the intersection of Jean Genet's Song of Love (1950) and the recent Great Freedom (2021), where deeply societal cinema gains the right to romance, hope, and poetry that can flourish like a flower even in the cracks of the harshest walls.
