'Peter Hujar's Day' Adapts Discovered Interview Transcript of Influential New York Photographer

In December 1974, the writer Linda Rosenkrantz recorded a conversation with the influential downtown photographer Peter Hujar, to hear how he spent a day over a 24 hour period. The tape of the conversation has been lost, but a transcript was recently discovered at The Morgan Library & Museum. The transcript has been adapted almost word for word in a new movie adaptation, " Peter Hujar's Day " starring Ben Whishaw playing Hujar and Rebecca Hall as Rosenkrantz. Director Ira Sachs talks about the film, which premieres in theaters on November 7.
