Colin Firth in stunning, award winning performance as “A Single Man”

“A Single Man” described as a romantic tale of love interrupted, stars Colin Firth and Julianne Moore in a stunning directorial debut for designer Tom Ford, and features an award winning performance by Colin Firth.

Set in 1960’s California, it traces the story of one transformational day in the life of George Falconer (Firth), a gay college professor who is mourning the death of his long time lover. This one day blends past and present, desire and despair and the discovery of love persisting even after the object of love is gone.

This was at a time when being gay was not socially acceptable, when jobs could be lost, when families were shamed and therefore cruel. Ford has filled this adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s novel with a compelling sense of beauty and style. It is an immaculate-looking film.

David Stratton from ABC’s “At the Movies” states

“ I think it is an exceptionally beautiful film. It's a very small story, but emotionally a very powerful story and it's so beautiful, it's like a kind of perfect jewel…”

So if you are in the mood for a thought-provoking and dramatic plot-line, sprinkled with the brilliance of Colin Firth and his co-stars, you will not regret it.
