MOVIE REVIEW:
The complexities that attended writer Christopher Isherwood and artist Don Bachardy's early romance aren't hard to grasp. There was the three-decade age difference, Isherwood being 49 when he met the 18-year-old Bachardy on a Santa Monica beach in 1953. Check the imbalance in their accomplishments: Isherwood's authorial celebrity having been established from his "Berlin Stories," while Bachardy remained unformed for years and marginalized by Isherwood's famous friends, until he discovered a talent for portraiture. They were also openly gay during a perilously conservative era.
