Chris & Don
Streaming video - 2007
The true-life story of the passionate three-decade relationship between British writer Christopher Isherwood (whose Berlin Stories was the basis for all incarnations of *Cabaret*) and American portrait painter Don Bachardy, thirty years his junior. From Isherwood’s Kit-Kat-Club years in Germany to the couple’s first meeting on the sun-kissed beaches of 1950s Malibu, their against-all-odds saga is brought to dazzling life by a treasure trove of multimedia. With Isherwood’s status as an out-and-proud gay maverick, 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. Winner of the Jury Award at the ...**Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.** Nominated for the Best Documentary at the **Chlotrudis Awards.** *"A charming, illuminating portrait of the complex and storied queer romance between Isherwood and Bachardy." - Ernest Hardy, **L.A. Weekly***
