"Chris & Don: A Love Story"

”Chris & Don” (2007) is the true story of the passionate three-decade relationship between British writer Christopher Isherwood (Berlin Stories) 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 beaches of 1950s Malibu, their against-all-odds saga is brought to dazzling life by a treasure trove of multimedia. Bachardy’s reminiscences artfully interact with archival footage, rare home movies (with glimpses of W.H. Auden, Igor Stravinsky, and Tennessee Williams), and reenactments. 90 minutes. $5 Parrish Members|$7 Nonmembers.
