“Peter Hujar’s Day”
Knowing that artist Peter Hujar died of AIDS in 1987—one of countless casualties of a devastating epidemic that cut short so many artists’ lives—gives the film a sad, mortal urgency.
In Berlin, the closest thing to a consensus on “Kontinental ’25” was that the film didn’t measure up to Romanian director Radu Jude’s customary standards. My view is that the critics didn’t look hard enough.
