Over There on a Visit

About This Movie

Over There on a Visit is one of those quiet gems that really pulls you into the mind of Christopher Isherwood. He reflects on his life, writing, and spiritual explorations with a kind of warm introspection that’s hard to find elsewhere. The pacing is leisurely, almost reminiscent of a long afternoon chat with an old friend, and it’s fascinating to hear him talk about his Berlin years and relationship with Don Bachardy. The documentary feels personal, almost intimate, capturing the essence of Isherwood’s character through his words. There’s a comforting atmosphere here, blending nostalgia with a touch of melancholy that resonates deeply. It’s a unique slice of literary history worth exploring.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, which makes it a bit of a rarity for collectors. Its documentary style stands apart from many conventional narratives, appealing to those interested in literary figures. While not widely available on physical media, its scarcity adds to its allure for enthusiasts of Isherwood's work and the era he represents.
