Rock Hudson: Dark and Handsome Stranger
Rock Hudson was a virile screen idol who was the epitome of clean-cut masculinity. He was one of the first Hollywood celebrities to die of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, providing the killer virus with a famous face amidst the American AIDS paranoia of 1985. 2010 is not only the 25th anniversary of his death but would also have been his 85 birthday. The film investigates the many film roles Rock Hudson played, against the more intimate and private world of Roy Fitzgerald.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a poignant narrative by juxtaposing the luminous screen persona with the private man, relying on archival footage to explore the chasm between myth and reality. It is a study of image-making and its human cost.
What lingers after viewing is a profound sense of duality and tragedy, a reflection on fame and identity in a less forgiving time. — MovieFinder Editorial
