For a book, Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall) is interviewing people from her circle of New York artists and intellectuals. The topic of conversation: the events of the past day. On December 19th, it's the turn of 40-year-old photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw). The audio recordings were lost, so Sachs used Rosenkrantz's transcription for this statically filmed, textbook example of images of talking heads. As a play, it's at best enjoyable for older New Yorkers and/or those familiar with the New York art world of the time. As a film, despite the talents of Whishaw and Hall, it's a hopeless endeavor.
