Late Fame (CTBA)
A group of young artists in New York rediscover the poetry of postal worker Ed Saxberger.
The great Willem Dafoe lends his delicate gravitas to the role of Ed Saxberger, a forgotten New York poet who works in the post office.
After an eager and flattering young admirer appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius.
Intoxicated by the attention - and by the alluring presence of Gloria, the group’s “tragic heroine” - Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle.
A wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.
