Ira Sachs’s *Peter Hujar’s Day* returns to 1970s New York, tracing a single day in the life of photographer Peter Hujar as it intersects with writer Linda Rosenkrantz. The film treats conversation and observation as its primary action, using biography to map an artistic community and the city that held it. Now screening at MoMA as part of the museum’s film program, it sits in an institution that has long framed New York image-making as cultural record. Sachs’s restraint becomes a critical point: it suggests how a life can be documented without being explained away.
