Lonesome

Film program, AU 2022, 95 min., engl. OV

By: Craig Boreham

With: Josh Lavery, Daniel Gabriel

Fleeing his provincial hometown, young Casey hitchhikes to Sydney. Once there, he plunges into the world of anonymous sexual adventures and gets by with odd jobs. He meets Tib at a private Grindr sex party, and is fascinated by him, sexually and otherwise. For the first time, an emotional interest has been aroused in both, but deep-seated fears of loss and insecurities seem to stand in their way. In impressive images and with a laconic soundtrack, “Lonesome” is a sensitive portrait of two wounded souls who reach their emotional limits in their desire for closeness and distance, trust and rejection.
