Titled in full Wojnarowicz: F**k You F*ggot F**ker, Chris McKim's documentary is a profile of the late New York City artist and activist David Wojnarowicz, who directed his art (in multiple media including film, painting, and writing) toward increasing awareness of the AIDS epidemic during the 1980s until he himself died from the disease in 1992.
“McKim’s documentary is as jangly and urgent as its subject and his art, and it packs a melancholy wallop, using the artist’s own running commentary via cassette tape (there were two hundred hours of it) and layering it over snatches of Wojnarowicz’s Super 8 films, countless photographs, and recollections from those who were both there at the start of Wojnarowicz’s career and at the end of his life.” —Marc Savlov, The Austin Chronicle
