Peter Hujar's Day

Ira Sachs / US, 2025 / 76 min.

Re-enactment of an intimate conversation that took place in 1974 between artist Peter Hujar and writer Linda Rosenkrantz, about a day in Hujar’s life; at the time, he was a pivotal figure in the cultural life of downtown New York. Actors Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall bring the seventies up close and personal.

New York, 1974; the city is pretty much bankrupt, whole apartment blocks in Harlem are on fire, drugs are everywhere and Andy Warhol and his entourage of the famous, the semi-famous and the not-so-famous are setting the cultural agenda for New York City as the grungy art capital of the world.
