Peter Hujar was a stylish gay photographer in 1970s and 80s New York, associated with Andy Warhol and Robert Mapplethorpe. In 1974, he conducted a taped interview with author Linda Rosenkrantz, a project in which he recounted the events of a day in which he photographed Allen Ginsberg. All but the tape transcript has been lost, but director Ira Sachs has used this to create a two-hander, with Whishaw moving around the recreation of Rosenkrantz’s loft apartment, chatting away, which Hall prompts and smiles encouragement. A fascinating window onto the cultural milieu of the times, which would later be shattered by the spread of AIDS, which Hujar died of in 1987.
