At Sundance 2025, Rebecca Hall shared her experience preparing for her role in the film adaptation of "Peter Hujar's Day." She engaged directly with Linda Rosenkrantz, the author depicted in the film, to understand her unique voice and mannerisms. Director Ira Sachs emphasized the film's purpose of capturing a crucial historical moment, highlighting the significance of preserving queer history, particularly during times of erasure in the current political climate. The film reflects on the legacy of East Village artists from the '70s and '80s, celebrating their risk-taking spirit.
"She has a very specific voice, a way of talking that is nothing like mine. I did speak to her on the phone and asked her some questions."
"This group of artists that came out of New York - specifically the East Village in the '70s and '80s - they weren't just pioneers; they were risk-takers."
