Movie Preview: Whishaw details for us “Peter Hujar’s Day” — a photographer exposed

It’s 1974, and Rebecca Hall as Linda Rosenkrantz interviews a not-quite-famous portrait photographer for a…profile?

“To find out how people fill up our days.” A moment in time not-quite-explained by a guy who was a part of it, photographing it while it was happening.

Some selective and enthusiastic Sundance praise for this two-handed snapshot/biopic. Janus picked it up.

The director? Ira Sachs. If you’ve seen “Frankie,” “Little Men” or “Passages” or “Love is Strange” or “Keep the Lights On,” you have an idea of what to expect — intimate, subtle to the point of forgettable, film festival darlings for the most part.

This one reaches the general public Nov 7.
