What’s the Big Deal?

Director Ira Sachs decided to adapt a transcript of writer Linda Rosenkrantz’s interview about an average day in the life of photographer Peter Hujar. That’s right, an entire film based on a single conversation.

A Single Conversation

Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall star in this minimalist drama, which won’t win any awards for most action-packed film. It’s just two people talking for 70 minutes. Don’t expect car chases or explosions – it’s just conversation.

Sachs’ film is now streaming on the Criterion Channel, so if you’re in the mood for something low-key, this might be the film for you. But let’s be real, it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for something with a bit more excitement, keep looking.
