Synopsis:
Iconic fashion designer Tom Ford—the mastermind behind designer labels like Gucci, YSL, and his own eponymous line—makes his directorial debut with the richly detailed and aesthetically brilliant A Single Man. Starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore, the film is set in Los Angeles in 1962 at the height of the Cuban missile crisis. Gay British college professor George Falconer (Firth) is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his longtime partner. The story is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.
