Torn apart by the shattering impact of the death of his long-time lover, college professor George Falconer (Colin Firth) experiences the most transformative day of his life, blending past and present, desire and despair, and discovering that love persists even after the object of love is gone. Set in a sun-drenched 1960s California coastal canyon, featuring revealing performances by Julianne Moore and Matthew Goode, A SINGLE MAN marks the breakthrough directorial debut of internationally influential American fashion icon Tom Ford. Targeting indelible images of love, loss and rebirth, the film is a personal testament, filled with deep emotional resonance.

An exquisite film that plunges viewers into a hallucinatory, sensorially immersive state of grief. Fashion design Tom Ford creates scenes of extraordinary beauty, not simply for the art direction of clothing or sets (though Colin Firth's suits are highly noteworthy), but for the cinematic use of light, texture and the beautiful score by Abel Korzenwioski. Firth is heartrending in the lead role. Based one of the seminal pieces of literature of the modern gay movement, this film rightly deserves to be placed as one of the great love stories of cinema.
