‘Peter Hujar’s Day’ Releases First Look Following Sundance Sale
"Peter Hujar's Day" has released a first look with Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall following the film's Sundance sale to Janus Films and Sideshow.
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). 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. The film received positive reviews out of Sundance, with Variety ‘s Owen Gleiberman describing it as a “movie that finds its meaning in its very lack of overt drama” with it being “exquisitely done and arresting to watch.” In a notably quieter Sundance year, “Peter Hujar’s Day” was one of the few films to find a U.S. distributor at the festival, alongside buzzy titles like “Lurker,” “The Perfect Neighbor,” “Sorry, Baby” and “Train Dreams.”
