在纽约狂野夜生活中游走的夜店推广人 Peter,因十岁的儿子 Arlo 突然出现而措手不及。身为同性恋者,Peter 早已忘了自己曾和女人上过床,却突然发现自己不得不手忙脚乱地学着当父亲。Arlo 走进 Peter 的世界,成了一名 DJ。就这样,片名所说的“夜店小子”悄然传给了下一代。《夜店小子》是 Jordan Firstman 首次执导的长片,他同时担任编剧和主演。影片在戛纳电影节首映后引发热议,A24 以 1700 万美元购得发行权。Firstman 起初是电视喜剧编剧,疫情期间凭借别出心裁的视频在社交媒体上声名鹊起;他将自己张扬喧闹的公众形象投射到 Peter 身上,同时挖掘出其下的脆弱与温柔。在影片的最后一个镜头中,Peter 抬头望着派对,他的身影静静唤起成年生活的现实:告别狂欢之夜,步入担起责任的早晨。
