This movie was so visually stunning. I fell in love with Colin Firth and the pain he endured in the film. His sensitive and touching portrayal of a gay man plunged into a mid-life crisis after the accidental death of his lover couldnt possibly have been told in a more beautiful manner. This is the first acadamy award nomination for Colin Firth and it is well deserved.
Synopsis:
Set in Los Angeles in 1962, A Single Man is the story of George Falconer, a British college professor (Colin Firth) who is struggling to find meaning in his life after the death of his long-time partner, Jim (Matthew Goode). We follow George through a single day, where a series of encounters, ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim. George is consoled by his closest friend, Charley (Julianne Moore), a 48-year-old beauty, and is stalked by one of his students, Kenny (Nicholas Hoult).
Tom Ford's directorial debeut is thoughtful, and poignient. This film is about love, not sex. I was moved.
