Matt Minton mminton@variety.com Following the film’s Sundance premiere and sale to Sideshow and Janus Films, “Peter Hujar’s Day” has released a first look.
Based on the book of the same name by Linda Rosenkrantz, “Peter Hujar’s Day” is director Ira Sachs’ follow-up to “Passages” (Ben Whishaw and Franz Rogowski).
His latest film once again features Whishaw, now paired on-screen with Rebecca Hall. The two play friends, Peter Hujar (Whishaw) and Rosenkrantz (Hall), who connect over a 24-hour period in December 1974 and record an intimate discussion.
Sachs took inspiration from a transcript of their real-life conversation. The clip features a conversation between Hujar and Rosenkrantz as they discuss their differing views on stardom and artists.
