The Lords of Flatbush
“When was the last time someone gave you a hickey?”
Drama
Set in 1958, the coming of age story follows four lower middle-class Brooklyn teenagers known as The Lords of Flatbush. The Lords chase girls, steal cars, shoot pool, get into street fights, and hang out at a local malt shop.
VIBE
A raw, authentic slice of 1950s Brooklyn youth. It feels like hanging out with the guys, full of swagger, petty crime, and the bittersweet ache of growing up too fast.
