CHRIS
& DON: A LOVE STORY
Chris & Don: A Love Story is the
true-life story of the passionate three-decade relationship
between British writer Christopher Isherwood (whose
Berlin Stories was the basis for the beloved Cabaret)
and American portrait painter Don Bachardy, thirty
years his junior. From Isherwood's Kit-Kat-Club years
in Weimar-era 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 through beautiful,
rare home movies and reminiscences from Don and many
of their friends, including Leslie Caron and Liza Minnelli.
With Isherwood's exemplary 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.
