A Single Man
2009 · 1h 40m · Drama, Romance
Watch it tonight if you're in the mood for something slow, elegant, and emotionally devastating. Tom Ford's direction is gorgeous and the performances are stellar, but this is a heavy, introspective meditation on grief and mortality—not comfort viewing. The scores are solid across the board, so go for it if you want to feel something real.
Plot
Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, is the story of a British college professor who dwells on the past and cannot see his future. We follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters ultimately lead him to decide if there is a meaning to life after the death of his long time partner, Jim.
