“Peter Hujar’s Day” is Gentle, Quietly Staggering

The concept of Peter Hujar’s Day is the cinematic equivalent of watching paint dry. It’s in the vein of Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, except that instead of actually seeing Peter go about his day, the audience is witness to him as he recounts it to Linda. All this to say, it’s a marvelous little piece of filmmaking.
