'Peter Hujar's Day' review: Ira Sachs gently brings 1970s New York to life through a dramatic experiment

Summary

Nutrition label

82% Informative

Peter Hujar's Day is a confined, two -character experiment that's far more about mood than plot.

Set almost entirely in one apartment over the course of a single day , its mere 76 minutes are languidly paced.

The film is reconstructed from a transcript, once thought to be lost, of an interview with a gay New York photographer.

Director Ira Sachs is the director of the striking contemporary queer drama Passages .

Peter Hujar's Day is, by its very nature, a film of reflections and refractions.

It makes its various Xerox copies of the past feel thoroughly original and lifelike, transforming a contained interview into what may as well be a moody, sprawling biopic.

As narrated by Hujar in the film, the preceding 24 hours were mildly annoying, given how many people he had to chase for money.
