Chris & Don: A Love Story
Featuring Christopher Isherwood, Don Bachardy, and Michael York
Directed by Guido Santi and Tina Mascara
Not Rated
Love comes in many forms, but a lifelong love like this is rare for a number of reasons. It does no good to talk about Chris & Don: A Love Story without acknowledging that when their relationship began, English writer Christopher Isherwood was in his late forties and Don Bachardy was 18. Or so.
Once you get over whatever feelings that causes, this new documentary unfolds fairly amiably. Isherwood’s writing made him a sort of celebrity in the Golden Age of Hollywood, which was also the Dark Ages of Hollywood Homosexuality. Very few important members of the entertainment industry were out of the closet then, and to prove he was, Isherwood would spend the next 40 years or so with a lover more than young enough to be his son.
