Ira Sachs's film, running for 76 minutes, is a subtle exploration of an interview between photographer Peter Hujar and journalist Linda Rosenkrantz, set in an East Village apartment. Through a sparse yet evocative cinematic style, the film highlights their conversation about daily life while weaving in reflections on Hujar's artistic process, including his work with notable figures like Allen Ginsberg. As the dialogue unfolds amidst domestic activities, the film transforms from a simple discussion into a poignant meditation on memory, artistry, and the intimacy of human connection.
The film is a re-creation of an interview that happened on December 19, 1974, between the renowned photographer Hujar and his friend, the journalist Linda Rosenkrantz.
Sachs is clearly animated by a love for this long-lost downtown scene, and he conveys it as much through his images and his cutting as he does through the dialogue.
