A mesmerizing meditation on art and life, Ira Sachs’s richly textured new feature is based on rediscovered transcripts from a 1974 interview conducted by nonfiction writer Linda Rosenkrantz (played by Rebecca Hall), in which photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) recounts the events of the previous day in minute detail.Ira Sachs | 2025 | In English | 76 minutes | NR | DCP

Watch the trailer:
“In 1974, acclaimed photographer Peter Hujar describes the routines and rituals that define an artist’s life to his friend, the writer Linda Rosenkrantz, capturing a single day’s activities in touching and funny detail: from interactions with cultural icons of the day, including Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Susan Sontag, to the texture and energy of downtown New York in its heyday. Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall star in the elegant and intimate new piece from filmmaker Ira Sachs ('Little Men,' 'Passages') — a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its centre — that is both a masterful portrait of a time & place and a captivating film about the way art emerges from the intimate details of everyday life.” -Janus Films
