2026 Sarasota Film Festival
Late Fame
Willem Dafoe is magnificent as the poet Ed Saxberger, who long time ago wrote a book of poetry that no one ever cared about. When a group of young artists rediscover his work, he must reassess his genius. The wild card in the group is Gloria, a talented and mercurial theatre actress who toys with affections and who is all set to be admired by Saxberger.
