Director: Andrew Wagner
Any Awards -- none I know of and would not think it is a candidate for any
Cast: Frank Langella; Lauren Ambrose; Lili Taylor; Joel West; Jessica Hecht; Adrian Lester; Sean T Krishnan
plot: Leonard Schiller (Frank Langella) is an aging writer, with all his books out of print, he continues to write; he knows no other way to live. An enterprising graduate student Heather Wolfe (Lauren Ambrose) wants to makes his novels the topic of her master's thesis and raises his hopes for a literary comeback...and revives his libido. Meanwhile, Leonard's middle-aged daughter (Lili Taylor) faces challenges regarding her own prospects for long-term happiness. Will she have a child on her own--or stay with the man she loves who is determined to not have children.
sez says: with the exception of Langella this was pretty poorly acted. The story might have been able to make it if there was a different cast.
