“Lost in Paradise,” directed by Vu Ngoc Dang, explores the love that grows between two young men, a prostitute and a bookseller; it is making the rounds at Toronto, Vancouver, and Berlin. The French LGBT website Têtu reports that it’s drawing crowds in its native Vietnam, where it says homosexuals are figures of fun or viewed as sick (though the country did hold its first, albeit illegal, same-sex marriage last June). The article quotes one fifty-year-old [presumably straight man] as saying “Now I think they are like us.”
