Peter Hujar's Day (Criterion Premieres)

It was a December afternoon in 1974 when journalist Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall) invited a good friend-gay activist and then-underappreciated photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw)-to her Upper East Side place, flipped on a reel-to-reel, and asked how he'd spent the prior day. A lived-in and fascinating portrait of the NYC art scene's zeitgeist is delivered by the performers in Ira Sachs' intriguing two-hander, based on Rosenkrantz' 2021 memoir. 76 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurette; theatrical trailer.
