Review of Christopher and His Kind (2011) by Richard L — 16 Mar 2014
It was hard for me not to see Matt Smith as Doctor Who instead of Christopher Isherwood, though what he kept pulling out of his pants was something other than a sonic screwdriver. By the end of the movie, though, Smith had become this other character, especially because of the emotional arc of his relationship with Heinz (the luminous Douglas Booth) was wonderfully complex, including a bittersweet reunion rife with all sorts of undercurrents.
I was surprised to learn that Cabaret and Sally Bowles follow from Isherwood's prose and the real Jean Ross (Imogen Poots). I feel duly educated and my curiosity to read Isherwood's work piqued.
