This is the true-life story of the passionate three-decade relationship between British writer Christopher Isherwood (whose Berlin Storieswas the basis for Cabaret) and American portrait painter Don Bachardy, thirty years his junior. From Isherwood's Kit-Kat-Club years in Weimar-era Germany to the sun-kissed beaches of 1950s Malibu, their against-all-odds saga is brought to life through reminiscences from Don and Hollywood friends such as Leslie Caron and John Boorman - plus rare home movies with legendary artists including W.H. Auden, Igor Stravinsky and Tennessee Williams. With Isherwood's status as an out-and-proud gay hero, and Bachardy's eventual artistic triumph away from the considerable shadow of his life partner, Chris & Don: A Love Story is above all a joyful celebration of a most extraordinary couple.

 
 
   
   

 
 
Customer's Reviews
Chris & Don: A Love Story
"Chris & Don" is a profound story about the relationship of 2 men. One was a famous author and the other was a portrait painter. This documentary celebrates their 30 years love which endured despite a great difference in age.
