Overview
- The 2025 film by Ira Sachs stars Ben Whishaw as photographer Peter Hujar with Rebecca Hall as interviewer Linda Rosenkrantz.
- Its screenplay draws largely verbatim from a single December 1974 conversation, confining the action to an apartment setting.
- Shot on grainy 16mm with self-reflexive touches, the film runs 76 minutes according to the Boston Globe.
- Film Comment and Them highlight the rigor of the concept and praise Whishaw and Hall, while the Boston Globe labels it tedious and a major disappointment.
- Coverage notes conflicting reports about when the original transcript was found and when it was published as a book.
