Chris and Don: A Love Story (2007)

Fascinating and pretty much unbelievable story of a 50 year old writer, Christopher Isherwood (author of A Single Man), who picks up a 20 year old 'boy', Don Bachardy, as a lover back in the late 1950s. Bachardy who is still alive as of this posting tells the tale from beginning to end, and it's quite riveting. I say unbelievable because Bachardy was young and attractive while Isherwood was already quite old and faded. But Isherwood supported his young lover and 'kept' him pretty much until the day Isherwood died.
