The photographer Peter Hujar, whose images exist in an important lineage and dialogue with the work of groundbreaking gay artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and David Wojnarowicz, forms the centre of this dramatic feature film. Based on rediscovered transcripts from an unused interview by Linda Rosenkrantz, in which she asked Hujar to narrate the events of the previous day in minute detail, the film is an illustration of the life of the creative mind, the quotidian and the imaginative at once, fully and lovingly inhabited by its two brilliant actors (Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall).
