Opening THIS FRIDAY at Midtown: LATE FAME, the intimate new feature from critic and documentarian Kent Jones, starring Willem Dafoe and Greta Lee! If you feel so inclined, read my review in this month's issue of The Burg magazine!

Willem Dafoe steps to the role of Ed Saxberger, a forgotten New York poet who works in the post office. After a flattering young admirer appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twenty-something admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the attention — and by the alluring presence of Gloria, the group’s “tragic heroine” (Greta Lee) — Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle.
