At the very end of the 1970’s, post office worker Ed Saxberger (Willem Dafoe) wrote a book of poetry that nobody cared about. After an eager and flattering fan appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of young admirers who anoint him a rediscovered genius. Directed by Kent Jones, "Late Fame" is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.
