Starting Out in the Evening
Drama
Leonard Schiller once counted among New York's literary lions, but illness and ten years of writer's block have lowered his profile, almost to the point of obscurity. When Heather Wolfe, an ambitious literature major, asks to interview him for her thesis on his work, her interest forces him to address the issues that he has avoided all these years, and stirs in him feelings he has long forgotten, much to his daughter's consternation.
VIBE
A quiet, introspective drama that feels like a forgotten novel. It's a somber, wistful exploration of aging artists and the ghosts of their past, best savored alone.
