04/12/08
SYNOPSIS: Battling
illness and unable to finish a novel that has taken him 10
years to write, aging novelist Leonard Schiller is slipping
into literary obscurity. Formerly a famous author, Schiller
has been all but forgotten by the readers, colleagues and
critics that once praised him. But when Heather Wolfe, an
ambitious graduate student, convinces Schiller that her
thesis could reintroduce his writing to the world, the
reclusive writer is forced to confront his past regrets.
Langella delivers a career capping performance as a man who
must redefine his work, and his perceptions, in the twilight
of his life.
