Directed by Tom Ford • 2009 • United States
Starring Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode
Superstar fashion designer Tom Ford made a startlingly assured leap to feature filmmaking with this lusciously stylized, luxuriantly melancholy adaptation of the landmark queer novel by Christopher Isherwood. An Oscar-nominated Colin Firth delivers a masterfully calibrated portrayal of grief and alienation as George Falconer, a gay British college professor living in Los Angeles in the 1960s and struggling to go on in the wake of his partner’s death. Over the course of one day—filled with dreams and memories, encounters both ordinary and extraordinary—George must decide whether life is still worth living. Suffused with gorgeous 1960s period detail and ineffable poignancy, A SINGLE MAN stands as one of the most striking feature debuts of the twenty-first century thus far.
