Late Fame

Late Fame is the story of Ed Saxberger (Dafoe), who wrote a book of poetry a long time ago that no one ever cared about. When a group of young artists rediscovers his work, he must reassess his genius. The wild card in the group is Gloria (Lee), a talented and mercurial theatre actress who toys with affections and who is all set to be admired by this legendary Saxberger figure from a gritty New York golden age.
