A Single Man

Fashion designer Tom Ford makes his writing and directing debut with this impeccably crafted period film that satisfies the expectations as far as style is concerned. The story set in Los Angeles of 1962 during a day in the life of a gay English professor who plans to commit suicide after a series of encounters. Everybody expected that Ford would bring his taste and style but Ford manages to bring some substance as well that makes his debut more compelling and promising. Colin Firth gives a solid performance with the support of a stunning Julianne Moore. Beautifully filmed with a flawless production and costume design. YRCinema's coverage of the Toronto International Film Festival.
