About the Film
Starting Out in the Evening, critically acclaimed at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, tells the story of 70-year-old novelist Leonard Schiller (Frank Langlella) and his unlikely meeting with a young graduate student (Lauren Ambrose) writing a thesis on his work. Leonard, whose books are out of print and whose "work-in-progress" has been languishing, quickly falls under the seductive promise of her admiration, much to the dismay of his 40-year-old daughter (Lili Taylor), who is in a difficult relationship with a lover who does not want children. Andrew Wagner's film is not a stereotypical May-December romance, since the characters are richly drawn and surprising and played to perfectionFrank Langella delivers a career-capping performance as a man who must redefine his work - and his perceptions - in the twilight of his life.Written over two years and shot in 18 days, Starting Out in the Evening puts most big-budget literary dramas to shame. Watch TrailerCOST: $6 for Bagel lunch. Seating is limited. Reservations are required for SJFF's annual Stroum JCC "Senior" screening and bagel event, with klezmer music by Klezterbalm.
