— sexy british comedy about a young man who discovers that his real father is a yorkshire pig farmer .

how funny can a movie be about the world ' s first kosher pig farmer ? funnier than you ' d expect .

jewish estate agent leon geller , who lives in london , discovers his father is not actually local businessman sidney geller but yorkshire dales pig farmer brian chadwick .

network releasing have just released leon the pig farmer on dual format blu - ray & dvd , so keep a look out for it on the shelves of your local hmv , supermarket or online .

best film at the edinburgh film festival and recipient of the critics award at the venice film festival , leon the pig farmer has a lot to live up to . luckily , it’s a funny movie . the plot’s about a mix - up : leon geller ( mark frankel ) , a nice jewish boy with a compulsion about honesty , discovers his jewish dad had a low sperm count and his real sperm - dad , as it were , is a pig farmer .

the way . as he assimilates the different cultures , he becomes obsessed with creating a fusion of them both - the first ever kosher pig .

director : vadim jean and gary sinyor uk 1993 104 mins leon , a young jewish londoner working for his mother ' s catering company discovers that he is the product of a botched artificial insemination and is , in fact , the son of a northern pig farmer .

leon is a jewish estate agent who , during a routine check - up at an infertility clinic , discovers he has something in common with captain blighe of the bounty . yes , they were both victims of mixed up se ( a ) men . it turns out that his biological father is not quite as jewish as he ' d hoped and is , in fact , a yorkshire pig farmer . despite their differences , leon is welcomed into the family , but loyalties are torn when he accidentally breeds the first kosher pig !

director vadim jean calls this the first jewish comedy feature to come out of britain , although i thought carol reed’s film of a kid for two farthings , wolf man - kowitz’s novel about a child in petticoat lane , was also a jewish comedy . perhaps one shouldn’t try too hard to label it because the point of leon the pig farmer is that we’re all human and the rest is just manners and customs .

leon , is an estate agent and a london jew . due to an artificial insemenation accident he discovers that his real father is a pig farmer . rejected by his girlfriend he goes on a voyage of discovery to yorkshire , to meet his biological father and half brother . can he bring both families together ? written by matthew stanfield

poor leon discovers a past that goes against everything that is jewish . it takes a while for the story to kick start but once you get going , you fall into the flamboyance of the humour , enjoying the belly laughs , and maybe the dish as well .

a jewish boy , leon geller , finds out that he is the product of artificial insemination and that his real father is in the bacon trade . he decides to visit him at his farm in yorkshire . whilst there he helps out on the farm but accidentally injects a pig with sheep ' s semen thereby producing the world ' s first kosher pork .

leon ( mark frandel ) suffers an identity crisis when he finds out he is not the jewish son of a curtain net king , but rather the offspring of a yorkshire pig farmer ( brian glover ) . a more welcome complication develops as he divides his romantic attentions between two women - the girl - next - door played by gina bellman or the gorgeous madeleine ( maryam d ' abo ) . a surprise commercial success , this british comedy was filmed on a profit sharing basis , with the crew working for nothing during the film ' s production , but receiving a percentage of any box office returns after it was released .

an irreverent comedy is set in motion when leon geller , a sensitive jewish man from london , accidentally learns that his is the product of artificial insemination .

then , through a series of convenient plot contrivances , he learns an unspeakable ( well in jewish circles ) truth : he owes his existence to artificial insemination and , thanks to a mix up at the clinic , the donor sperm belonged to a certain brian chadwick ( brian glover ) , a pig farmer from lower dinthorpe , on the yorkshire moors ! in deep distress leon decides he must get to know his biological father so packs his overnight bag and heads up to yorkshire , where much craziness and hilarity ensues…well at least that’s what the dvd cover wants you to believe .

a jewish londoner working for his mother ' s catering firm sets of on a journey of discovery , after learning that not only was his birth was the result of artificial insemination but a mix - up at the lab means that his real father is in fact a yorkshire pig farmer . winner of multiple awards including edinburgh iff ' s chaplin award and joint awards for best newcomer from the evening standard british film awards and the london critics ' circle film awards .

don’t get me wrong ; leon is a well - made film . the photography is good , the editing is well done , there are some nice locations ( apparently in clapham village , yorkshire and in london ) and the acting is better than average , but i think its main problem is the script , which takes too many liberties with the audience and just expects them to climb on board the ‘crazy leon’ train , no questions asked . it’s as if the makers just decided that they’d make a cult film right from the get - go , rather than just make a film , which then later might become a cult film . there are also some scenes that should be funny – all the ingredients are there – but they just fall short . again this might have been due to me not ‘getting it’ , but as a comedy i think leon fails more times than it works .

you could say the film’s about biology and culture—perhaps that’s why it won all those awards . but it’s also pretty sharp and satirical , with the sort of eccentric , funny character studies ( “heroes , anti - heroes and fantastical people” , says jean ) at which british movies excel . all the characters—even the sex interest , leon’s girlfriend ( maryan d’abo ) —are very real .

leon’s worth a watch , but probably only for curiosity value and for the awesome brian glover who steals whatever scene he’s in . oh , and it’s nice to see bellman and d’abo not wearing much too !

the extras on the disc include a trailer , a graduation film from one of the director’s / writer’s time at art college and an audio commentary . i have to admit i didn’t listen to the audio commentary , but i did watch the short and have to say i enjoyed it more than i did the feature . the unkindest cut of all appears to be a bit of a dry run for leon and was nominated for best short at the baftas way back in 1988 when it was made . it’s quite perceptive about human nature and is essentially a film about bringing two very different communities together , in this case the salvation army and the jews . a nice , well realised , short ; worth seeing .

i think i should say here that i’m not jewish so i think some of the humour in leon went over my head a little and , since this is a film which revels in jewish guilt and family traditions , then i think i’m not exactly the filmmaker’s target audience . having said that leon isn’t without its enjoyable moments to non - jewish viewers and it is entertaining and engaging , albeit in a very slight way .

although the film was made for just £160 , 000 , producer - directors gary sinyor and vadim jean found it virtually impossible to raise the money for the production . it was only that the entire cast and crew worked for nothing on deferred payment salary that they were able to make the film . see more »

however , i did enjoy most of brian glover’s scenes ( may he rest in peace ) and i did enjoy spotting lots of british acting talent in cameos and small roles before they made it big or bigger . for example , annette crosbie , from bbc 1’s one foot in the grave plays the head of the sperm clinic , burt kwok ( the pink panther movies ) plays an art critic and sean pertwee ( dog soldiers ) plays leon’s half brother , a talented would - be chef forced to stick with the farmyard recipes his dad likes .

love the movie ; quirky british comedy at its best . but the amazon description is misleading ; despite what it says , neither disk will play on us players , fortunately i have a region free dvd player but the zone 2 only bluray is no use to me .

justin richards is a journalist by day and a scriptwriter by night . his work has appeared in the darker recesses of the internet and in various niche publications including itnow , the darkside , is it uncut ? , impact and deranged . when he’s not sitting hunched over a sticky , crumb - laden keyboard he’s paying good money to have people in pyjamas try and kick him repeatedly in the face .

i think the problem , for me , with this film is the fact that it tries too hard to be quirky and to engage with its core audience and one of the side effects of this is that it can be quite irritating at times to the more casual viewer . there are quite a lot of subtle and not so subtle jewish references scattered throughout the film which , after a while , tend to grate , but i’m not too sure why . and i don’t think it’s me being anti - semitic since i loved the coen brothers’ a serious man , which also has plenty of jewish references .

it just seemed that everyone our fairly boring lead character meets has to be a bit out there , wacky and a bit ott . from the bizarre girlfriend who seems to have a revolving door policy for her men , through to brian’s family who are all larger than life stereotypes , right through to everyone else he meets randomly – who all seem to know his business and try and give him advice – it all seems to be trying too hard to impress and be , well , different .

victoria gloria is a 2013 3-d anti-war animated short by theodore ushev , produced in montreal by the national film board of canada ( nfb ) .

a film without words set to the music of shostakovich 's leningrad symphony , victoria gloria is final film in a trilogy of nfb animated shorts by ushev on art , ideology and power , following tower bawher ( 2005 ) and drux flux ( 2008 ) .

gloria victoria uses mixed media techniques to create images that evoke bloody battlefields and the horrors of war , with imagery of combat and massacres from the bombing of dresden in world war ii to guernica , from the spanish civil war to star wars , in a style inspired by expressionism , constructivism , cubism as well as surrealism .

ushev has stated that the film is " less geometric " in its animation than his previous works and that he sought to flatten the 3-d effect as the film progressed towards its climax , so as convey the emotion of a human being at war .

the seven-minute film took ushev two years to create , using traditional animation and computer animation tools .

our most recent discussions have been about his multi - award winning film , gloria victoria . the third and most ambitious film in a trilogy about war and power - tower bawher ( 2006 ) and drux flux ( 2008 ) are the other two – gloria victoria is a tour de force , both musically and visually . propelled by the visceral “invasion” theme from shostakovich’s leningrad symphony ( no . 7 ) , the film takes us across the battlefields of man , his mind , his machines and his lost humanity . theodore spoke at length about the genesis of the film , how he built it from an image and a piece of music and how the constant existence of conflict , competition and war seem to fuel humanity’s artistic spirit .

it ' s the unlikeliest of tell - all memoirs , co - written by the normally private gloria vanderbilt and her son , the even more discreet anderson cooper .

her young mother , gloria — they shared the same name — snatched her daughter off to europe to lead a life of debauchery on the child ' s trust fund .

in the book , gloria says she now sees that her mother was trying to lure her from " aunt ger " by letting her do whatever she wanted on her rare california visits .

arguably the finest time for great britain was indeed the victorian era , the military might that was queen victoria ' s empire was envied across the globe . the splendor of the british army in those days are sampled here in this collection .

i do a lot of scanned work , a lot in photoshop , photo painter , after effects , i work everywhere ! it’s really mixed media . if you asked me which i use the most , i couldn’t tell you . i work with everything . i have an idea of the image i want to achieve and i just work hard until i get there . i did the final edit of gloria victoria in premiere and final cut pro .

the fresh - faced heiress barely saw her mother . but with her approval , gloria was out every night with hollywood ' s most notorious womanizers , the likes of errol flynn and ray milland .

in 1979 , gloria vanderbilt jeans became a global phenomenon and the heiress was finally truly rich . but her therapist and lawyer defrauded vanderbilt , leaving her to face financial ruin in the late 1980s .

gloria ' s grandmother , nancy morgan , and her beloved nanny dodo kidnapped the child , spiriting her back to the u . s . and her aunt gertrude whitney — the famed heiress and founder of the whitney museum .

he also believes the upcoming hbo film , ' nothing left unsaid : gloria vanderbilt & anderson cooper ' , can be a lesson to viewers not to miss an opportunity to learn as much as possible about their parents when they still have the opportunity .

the 1934 custody battle made international headlines as " the trial of century . " in the book , gloria recalls seeing a copy of the daily news front page shouting " poor little rich girl " over her picture . she vowed never to let the headline become a prophecy .

tremendous and moving . and what a great use of this shostakovich symphonic movement .

the results of the survey are a fantastic portrait of the richness and diversity of contemporary short - form animated filmmaking . the survey also serves as a valuable guide because it represents the viewpoints of individuals rather than a unanimous awards body . below are the ten animated shorts that received the most votes :

0 mentions hollow land by uri and michelle kranot the missing scarf by eoin duffy mr . hublot by laurent witz possessions by shuhei morita requiem for romance by jonathan ng room on the broom by max lang and jan lachauer

tellingly , the majority of the films that the academy shortlisted were not on the radar of the animation community at large . this growing rift between the oscars and the cutting edge of short form animation was discussed on the site a couple days ago , too . it would be a shame if the academy’s struggle to keep pace with the evolving art and craft of animation filmmaking jeopardized the credibility of the animated short oscar .

the prolific experimental animator discusses his latest film and the message , or lack of one , behind his musical and visual decision - making .

over the past two years , i’ve had four occasions to spend one - on - one time talking to theodore ushev . getting schooled is more like it . twice in annecy , once in stuttgart and once in ottawa . each time , i’m mesmerized . each time , i feel like i’ve studied at the feet of a master , humbled and energized at the same time . each time , as i listen to him talk about the nature of art , of animation , of what inspires him , his thoughts on visual development and composition , each time , something clicks in my feeble mind , perpetually grinding gears suddenly slide into place , ideas that never made sense suddenly approach clarity . when i talk to theodore , something awakens inside me . i find his perspective on things big and small , important and mundane , serious and silly to be utterly fascinating . i’m not sure i can explain it any better . i’ve always felt a great deal smarter after each of our conversations . there is a brevity , a succinctness in the way he talks about his films , the way he shares intimate feelings and insights into his process , his thinking , his reason for making a film . there’s little wasted motion .

theodore ushev : it’s about a clash of civilizations . a clash of religions . there won’t be a winner at the end . everyone will be a loser when there is a war . i wanted to make a film that expresses the rage and brutality of war . war is just another side of rage that exists in everyday life .

it’s a mix of everything in this film . i even did some of the early images on my cellphone . there’s a lot of cg components . it’s a stereoscopic 3 - d film .

ds : aside from the fact i enjoy talking to you , i think your work is tremendous . if i didn’t know you , i’d still think your work is tremendous . there are lots of people who i know , and like , whose work i don’t like at all [ laughs ] .

we’ve talked in the past about the fact i’ve never been hugely impressed with most of the experimental films i’ve seen over the years . part of the problem was i didn’t really know how to watch them , or what to look for , as silly as that sounds . i saw a program of steven woloshen’s films a decade ago or so in ottawa which was a huge awakening for me . since then i’ve come to appreciate these types of films much more .

tu : well , there are some very bad experimental films . actually , there are some even worse narrative films [ laughs ] .

ds : those are much more obvious . you might be able to hide behind some abstract notion if you’ve made a bad experimental film . a bad narrative film , you’re just standing naked in the middle of a crowded room . however , with a bad experimental film , you fight the urge to gouge your eyes out with a fork .

tu : sometimes i think many of my films are bad . but i have fun doing them .

tu : i was reading a book by francis fukuyama called the end of history and the last man . suddenly it came to my mind that i wanted to finish my trilogy about hate and war with the high point of the hate . the film was to be about the hate and art . hate and war are somehow very connected to many artistic movements at different points in our history . they are still connected . all contemporary art is connected to conflicts . conflict has always been inspirational for artists . it has always been a starting point for their work . many of the avant - garde movements started at a point when people started wars , when there was conflict with humanity .

from an inspirational standpoint , war , art , hate , conflict , these subjects evoke tremendous passion in people .

tu : i wanted to finish this trilogy in a fast - pitched way . for me , hate and war are the emanation of everything bad in human energy . maybe i just wanted to take this bad energy out of me . when the ideologists and the political beasts and industry are all in collapse , when the power of industry is no longer valid , what is left in our society ? i don’t want to predict anything but the increasing conflicts in our world , for example the middle east with the arab spring and increased violence there , all the conflicts happening everywhere around the world gives me the idea that the war never stops . i wanted to take these feelings and put them into one special piece , with the music of shostakovich’s leningrad symphony .

in the book , fukuyama says that the end of history is going to be a very sad time . i think a lot of people will be nostalgic about the time when the conflicts existed . there will be the realization that continual conflicts are needed , that people need conflict , that they need to compete . they need to be at the top of every competition . that’s what the film is about . it’s not only about the war . it’s about the hate and the competition .

ds : the underlying need to have conflict as a context for coming out on top in competition .

ds : i know people who seem to thrive on conflict , who need conflict in their lives . it gives them a sense of purpose .

ds : you talk to them and it’s never , “hey , how’s it going ? . . . oh , it’s going great ! ”

tu : exactly . some people wake up and they cannot live unless they make their first conflict of their day . after that , they can breathe .

tu : basically , with my film , i don’t want to be didactic . i just wanted to make a film that shows the energy of everything . something that goes into your gut , not your mind . my message would be , “watch animated films and don’t make war . ” that all that i want to say .

ds : this film has taken two years to make . do you ever get to a point on a film like this where you throw up your hands and say , “this is just not working ! i’m creating a piece of shit ! ”

tu : yes it happens sometimes . but up to now , i’ve only started working on films i’m interested in doing something with . i get on that train and i know where i’m going to end up . of course , i never know if the film is going to be good or bad . but , nobody knows that . but i always have a very precise idea of what i want to have at the end . when i start the film , i have it in my head . always . it can change , but i always have it in my head .

tu : i start at the beginning and work straight through until the end . i had sketches to begin with . with the nfb , you have to present very precise concepts and images . i had 40 images from different pieces . i had a construction , an explanation of what the film was about . but the storyboard is the music . it is the music that drives me . i just go and go and go . by the end everything comes together .

tu : for this film , i cut out one minute . i had one scene that just didn’t work . when it doesn’t work , it doesn’t work . so i cut it .

tu : i wanted to create a printed sculpture of this monster , of war . my idea for the stereoscopy was at the beginning , the movie is very fluid , very 3 - d . coming to the end , as the war develops , the film becomes like the human brain , the human conscience , when we enter into the conflict . everything at that point becomes flat and black and white . there is never a middle tier in war . it’s always , “you’re either with me or against me . ” black and white . 2d . no depth . hate , war , that’s it . it’s better to make people feel these things than to try and send your message directly to them . i don’t even consider my film anti - war . i’m showing the nature of the hate and conflict . what you think after that is up to you .

tu : this was my most complex film technically . it took me a long time to make . the stereoscopy is part of the construction of the film . to use stereoscopy as an animation tool , as an artistic tool , i was trying to extend the image to make it expand your visual perception so you’d react in a very aggressive way . since the film starts in stereoscopy and ends in 2d , i had to estimate in every scene how does it work in 3 - d and how do i move from one context to the next .

the film was done with many different software programs . i used everything that is available right now . in the beginning of the film , the images are very complex . i had something like 250 layers in my compositing software . plus , though it’s all digital , i want my films to all look analog . for me it’s very important they have all the errors . when i say “analog” it’s not to be trendy or cool . it’s because with analog films , they’re imperfect . i love the imperfectness of these types of films . i work with the software until it crashes , until it errors . at that point , i say , “ok , i’ve arrived where i want to be . ”

tu : yes . everything has to have errors . i work until i find these errors . everything i do is like animation under a camera . there is no stepping back . if you want to redo something five or six frames previous , you can’t go back . i do the same with my computer . i have no control - z function . it doesn’t work on my computer . you make a mistake , you have to go forward . you can’t go back . that’s it . that’s how i work .

ds : you mentioned you used your cellphone on this film . is this new for you ?

tu : i try never to use the exact same techniques on a film as i’ve used before . everything needs its own technique . it has its own problems that need unique solutions . my next film will be totally analog . it will use a technique that has never been used before in animation . it will be my last animated film . i’m looking to work with the nfb on a 25 minute film using a painting technique called encaustic , which was the first painting technique ever invented . the egyptians used it for decorating mummies . you mix pigments with beeswax . i have found a way to use the beeswax as animation components . i can’t tell you too much but the next time you come to canada , there will be a big installation . just follow the bees ! that’s how you’ll find me !

tu : when i start a film , i have a very vague idea of what i want to say . i will always have a piece of music in my head and i have visuals . so my first step is not to think about the concept or the script . my first step is i sit and i paint , for four or five days . for this film i did a lot of drawings . it just builds up . when i draw , the film , the concept , the construction , they all come out . my ideas come with a beginning and an end . the challenge is to fill in the middle [ laughs ] .

ds : i get the impression many people aren’t nearly as together in their process . they start with an idea , but by the time they finish , they’ve gone somewhere very different than their original plan .

tu : i’ve never had this problem in my entire life [ laughs ] .

ds : you’re incredibly lucky . and gifted . let’s talk a bit about music in animation . it’s an area not many animators…

tu : we live in a time when it’s not very trendy to think with music in mind . not just in animation but in other kinds of cinema . it’s like it’s a waste of time . to me , the music is the most important part of a film . when i first think of my films , it’s often one image and the sound of the film . i often build the soundtrack of my films right after my four or five day visual exploration . it’s my storyboard . i admit that i’m not a very good animator . i don’t have a feeling about the timing . i don’t have that natural feeling for timing that many animators have . after almost ten years of animating , i’m just beginning to get an idea of timing and movement . for me , the sound and music give me the inner timing . so i can’t animate without music and sound . even if i just have a voice , in a language like farsi , which i don’t understand , i can start to animate . the human voice , the use of language , is one of the most beautiful musical instruments there is . i treat the use of language like i do the music .

some people criticize that my films aren’t narrative . no . my films are narrative , i just accept that my perception of language is different . i perceive language as music , not only as a tool of meaning . otherwise , it’s literature . i don’t want to create literature . to me in my films , language is not literature . it’s sound .

ds : …and that our poetry today is mostly found in music . why do you think young filmmakers don’t devote enough attention to sound and music ? is it that they’re too focused and enamored with the visual development production tools and technology ?

tu : focus on technology is one part of the problem . they concentrate too much on technology . the schools that teach animation don’t devote enough attention to sound design and music . it seems like first they teach them software , then character design , then they teach them storytelling , but no one teaches them how to breathe . to me , the sound is the breathing . you can learn about timing just by listening to how you breathe . it’s an integral part of the sound .

the book is drawn from a year - long email conversation between the cnn anchor / “60 minutes” correspondent and vanderbilt as her 91st birthday neared .

the high - profile pair openly discuss the most painful events of their lives in " the rainbow comes and goes " — everything from his older brother ' s 1988 suicide to his grandfather ' s self - destructive alcoholism .

vanderbilt even recently admitted to cooper that she had a " sort of lesbian relationship " while she was a teen at boarding school .

over the ensuing decades , she reports affairs with frank sinatra and howard hughes — along with a one - night stand with marlon brando .

the book is drawn from a year - long email conversation between the cnn anchor / " 60 minutes " correspondent and vanderbilt as her 91st birthday neared .

there was plenty that vanderbilt , now 92 and famous from birth , hadn ' t told her son .

she was an 18 - month - old when her father , reginald , died of cirrhosis of the liver . the great - grandson of the fortune - building commander cornelius boozed away the big bucks .

the two led an itinerant life , dictated by the widow ' s whirlwind social life across europe . just when it looked as if she were about to marry a penniless german prince came a dramatic development .

a portrait of the coopers in their southampton , n . y . , home . ( jack robinson / getty images )

she didn ' t know her mother was fighting more for her trust fund than her companionship , but the 10 - year - old was determined to stay with her aunt and told the judge that .

her heart broke when the judge ruled she would live with whitney but that dodo , who had plotted against her mother , would have to go .

vanderbilt ' s mother had her revenge in time . her daughter was just 17 , naïve and beautiful , when her mother threw her to the wolves of hollywood .

the teenager took up with pat dicicco , 33 , a low - life gangster and gambler , at the same time she was having an affair with his boss , howard hughes .

hughes , 36 , was " wildly romantic and gentle , yet he had the power to rule the world , " she writes . she doesn ' t spare her 48 - year - old son the details .

the intimidating dicicco strong - armed her into marriage , with her mother ' s rabid consent , in 1941 .

it was a miserable union , with the abusive dicicco flying into rages where he would bang her head against the wall . when vanderbilt came into her $ 4 . 5 million inheritance at 21 , she paid him $ 200 , 000 to disappear .

she quickly fell into the arms of the lionized 63 - year - old conductor , leopold stokowski , who ditched greta garbo to marry vanderbilt . the couple had two sons , stanley and christopher .

sinatra was the " knight in shining armor who came and rescued me from stokowski . " their brief affair was her springboard to divorce after nine years .

the still - willowy vanderbilt dated the famous , including a brief rendezvous with brando before her marriage to director sidney lumet .

she left him in 1963 for her true love , the handsome author and screenwriter , wyatt cooper . their romance ended in heartbreak when he died during open - heart surgery in 1978 , leaving her to raise their two sons , carter and anderson .

anderson was 10 , the exact age of his mother when she was forced to leave her childhood behind in the separation from dodo .

as an adult , she reunited with dodo , who lived with her for years . yet vanderbilt let keslich die alone in the care of catholic charities , coldly throwing a deathbed letter sent by the old woman into the fire .

" why didn ' t you read the letter ? " her son inquires . vanderbilt doesn ' t have an answer , though she says the betrayal " haunts me to this day . "

the mother and son discussion is always loving , even as anderson tells her he left part of himself behind when his father died — in part because he had to worry so much about her .

" i am a fraction of who i once was , who i was meant to be , " he wrote .

the happy , outgoing boy became a guarded and anxious little man struggling to take on adult responsibilities because he didn ' t trust that his mother would .

cooper grew up with only a fuzzy understanding of his mother ' s storied family and its fabulous wealth . he was also warned early by his parents that there would be no inheritance .

never thinking of himself as a vanderbilt and beset by anxiety , a 12 - year - old cooper started modeling for ralph lauren and calvin klein .

the teenager would lie awake nights trying to figure out how he would support the three of them when he grew up .

in all ways , their mother - son relationship was unusual . twice she took carter and anderson to studio 54 . even though he was just a teen , she freely confided in cooper about her affair with a married man .

in 1988 , carter killed himself as his mother watched helplessly in her upper east side apartment . the emotionally disheveled 23 - year - old ran upstairs , and vanderbilt found him sitting on a ledge 14 stories above the street .

vanderbilt begged her son to come inside , but instead carter " spun off the ledge , " hanging onto the balcony .

in the wake of the tragedy , another strained undercurrent in the mother - son relationship surfaced .

when he returned to yale , cooper left a letter saying " from now on we are partners " and " don ' t drink . "

cooper tells her that as " occasional and unpredictable " as her drinking was , he felt like alcohol was a " constant presence " throughout his childhood .

" your drinking made it difficult to trust you . . . the person you became ( when drunk ) scared and angered me , " he writes .

following carter ' s death , cooper feared that his mother would start drinking again . if she did , he writes , " i would have shut myself off from you for my own protection . "

though cooper " longed for a sense of safety as a teenager , " he also courted danger . at 17 , he took a solo survival trip alone through africa that ended after several months with his hospitalization in kenya with malaria .

indicative of their relationship , vanderbilt sent him off on the perilous journey with a note insisting " you must not worry about me . "

cooper never sounds resentful . in fact , as their email conversation wears on , he recognizes their shared " exhausting " impulsivity and restlessness .

he was 21 when he told his mother he was gay , worried it would awaken complicated feelings for her . vanderbilt ' s mother caused yet another scandal when her lesbian relationship with a british socialite made headlines in the 1930s .

it was during an interview with people that vanderbilt admitted she ' d had a brief lesbian relationship at 13 with another student at miss porter ' s school , the elite girls boarding school in connecticut .

mother and son put their new - found closeness on display in a series of conversations filmed for an hbo documentary , " nothing left unsaid , " airing on april 9 .
