Film Festival-Chris and Don: A Love story


Chris and Don : A Love Story was the first David and I see on Saturday. Its detail the unique story of Christopher Ischerwood and Don Bachardy. Unique because of the 30 year age difference and their openness about being a couple.

It is a documentary with personal letters and art work to Don from Chris. I found myself uncomfortable with the age differences at times. It didn't help the Don looked even younger then then 19. They were frank about the hard times as well as the good time.

I cried a little when Don described drawing Chris after he died. Something it took me a moment before I realize the true the beauty in the act.
