During the 82nd edition of Venice International Film Festival we spoke with Willem Dafoe and Greta Lee, main actors of the film “Late Fame”, directed by Kent Jones and presented in Venice 82 in the Orizzonti section. The film tells the story of Ed Saxberger, a poet of the New York’s “old guard” that many years ago published a book that didn’t get the attention it deserved, but that now is being rediscovered by a new group of young artists. This late recognition allows him to make peace again with his talent, and to reflect on his cultural relevance.


The interview


During our interview with FRED Film Radio, our guests Willem Dafoe and Greta Lee focused on the connection between cultural justice, authenticity and social reparation, on the New York downtown artistic scene and on the symbiotic relationship that these two characters have with the production of art, in every form.
