LATE FAME (2026) @ Cleveland Cinematheque / Valerio's
Details
An affluent group of twenty-something wannabe writers hopes to revivify the career of a long-forgotten poet (Willem Dafoe) who published one slim volume fifty years ago.
“There’s a marvelous tenderness and generosity to this elegant tale of autumnal regret; an intimate movie acted with effortless grace by Willem Dafoe.”- The Guardian
“exquisitely wry and melancholic...Dafoe...gives his finest performance in years ” - The New Yorker
Rotten Tomatoes: 94%
