The trailer alone is Oscar-worthy.
A string of images, each more beautiful than the last, on which floats a retro atmosphere with yellowish colors. You’d think you’d arrived straight into a Juergen Teller photo.
Tom Ford portrays George Falconer (Colin Firth), a middle-aged high school teacher whose partner dies in a car accident. Following this loss, George loses the will to live despite the love and support of his best friend Charlotte (Julianne Moore), also consumed by loneliness.
Colin Firth breaks out of his usual role as an uptight English dandy a la Jane Austen, and gets his first Oscar nomination in his career.
With this first film, borrowed from a rare romanticism and poetry, Tom Ford pushes grace to its paroxysm by an aesthetic and breathtaking shots.
Shot in only 21 days, A single man is a true eulogy of beauty in all its facets, with the feeling of lack elegantly and magnificently depicted, whose weight is felt beyond a staging of a lyricism and a melancholy without name.
We knew him to be a virtuoso on the catwalk, and now he’s showing it in the movies: Tom Ford is a real Swiss Army knife.
A single Man, in theaters February 24, 2010, the trailer for the most impatient.
