Based on the writer Christopher Isherwood's critically acclaimed memoir Christopher and His Kind, this landmark BBC adaptation gives a glimpse into the decadent and politically unstable world of 1930s Berlin. A young, wide-eyed Christopher (Matt Smith) escapes repressive English society and arrives in Berlin at a time when the cabaret scene is in full swing. Launched into the thriving gay subculture, Christopher embarks on a seminal journey of self discovery. Starring Matt Smith, Toby Jones, Imogen Poots, Douglas Booth, Pip Carter, Alexander Dreymon, Iddo Goldberg, Issy Van Randwyck and Lindsay Duncan.

About this product

Product Information

Matt Smith (DOCTOR WHO) stars as English-born writer Christopher Isherwood, in this BBC dramatization of the novelist's early years spent in hedonistic 1930's Berlin. The city's thriving gay scene proved to be momentous in both Isherwood's personal and professional life; during this time he met Jean Ross, the eventual inspiration for CABARET character Sally Bowles (Imogen Poots, BOUQUET OF BARBED WIRE), and fell madly in love with a young street cleaner named Heinz (Douglas Booth, WORRIED ABOUT THE BOY). The journey of self-discovery was a world away from the repressive values of his mother (Sally Duncan, ROME) in England, and --as chronicled in this lavish drama-- the intoxicatingly decadent German subculture was irresistible to the blossoming literary legend. Superbly acted, with dazzling period detail, CHRISTOPHER AND HIS KIND is written by acclaimed playwright Kevin Elyot.

    Very moving story. Highly entertaining. I didn't realize that Isherwood was such a nasty person.
