A intriguing look at the lengthy romance of Don Bachardy and Christopher Isherwood, this barely scratches the surface of the complexities of their relationship. There's certainly a creepiness when Don Bachardy discusses how Christopher Isherwood viewed him as a father in his youth while they were having a sexual relationship. But the ongoing and evolving nature of their love affair makes it clear just how deeply they felt for one another through the trials they faced over 34 years. That's powerful stuff, especially as this contextualizes Bachardy's struggle to become an artistic equal to Isherwood while living off his wealth and fame.
