Christopher and His Kind
AudienceAudience: 6.8
In 1931, a budding English author travels to Berlin at a friend’s invitation, drawn by the city’s freedoms and falling into a complicated romance. His relationship with a street sweeper brings conflict with others around him as Nazi influence grows, shaping the lives and fates of the people nearby.
My takeIf you enjoy inter-war Berlin dramas with romance and the looming rise of Nazism, you may like this TV movie; Not for you if you want a tightly plotted biography, or if you expect something as intense as Cabaret or The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
