“A masterpiece.”
—Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine

“The day that Hujar lived and described, in December, 1974, comes off not as a set of isolated incidents but as a cross-section, both sociological and novelistic, of an entire world, one that vanished with the early deaths of many of its most vital creators.”
—Richard Brody, The New Yorker

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.
