Late Fame

After an eager and flattering young admirer appears on his doorstep, Ed Saxberger, a forgotten New York poet who works in the post office, 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.

'The poetry of this movie, in short, is in Dafoe, who gives his finest performance in years' - Justin Chang, The New Yorker
