Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall star in the stunning new film from Ira Sachs (Passages), a richly cinematic rendering of the meeting of acclaimed photographer Peter Hujar and writer and artist Linda Rosenkrantz.

In 1974, famed photographer Peter Hujar describes the routines and rituals that define an artist's life, capturing a single day's activities from interactions with cultural icons of the day, including Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Susan Sontag and the texture and energy of downtown New York in its heyday.

Elegant and intimate — and a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its centre — Peter Hujar's Day 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.

“Such a joy... you feel lucky you get to ride along” Rolling Stone
