PETER HUJAR'S DAY

Special Features: One week only!

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 (PASSAGES) — a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its center — that is both a masterful portrait of a time and place and a captivating film about the way art emerges from the intimate details of everyday life.
