In Kent Jones’s marvelously witty second feature, a once-upon-a-time New York poet (Dafoe) gets an ego boost when he is welcomed into the world of an emerging literary salon. Intoxicated by the attention — and by the alluring presence of Gloria (Greta Lee), the group's “tragic heroine” — Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle.

Adapted from Arthur Schnitzler’s recently rediscovered novella Late Fame (in a sly, hugely entertaining script by Oscar-nominated May December writer Samy Burch), this thoughtful, funny film explores the illusory effect of praise on the soul, and the lingering ghostly presence of the past, whether it's imagined or vividly remembered.

Baby Pictures 

Baby Pictures is open to carers and little ones of twelve months and under. As everyone in the cinema is a parent or carer, there’s no need to worry if it gets a little noisy. Everyone understands. Customers not accompanying a baby will be turned away. Tickets are £10 and include a hot drink and a delicious pastry. You can let us know if you have any dietary requirements on qftmanager@qub.ac.uk. 

The lights are turned up a little bit and the sound is a little softer to create a peaceful environment for you and the baby. It’s just for carers (Mum, Dad, Granny, Granda, whoever it is it looking after the tot) and babies. Up to two adults can come with a baby. Please note: we cannot allow babies over the age of 12 months to come to Baby Pictures.

If you have any questions about Baby Pictures, please get in touch on qftmanager@qub.ac.uk.
