Click here to watch the new trailer released by the Weinstein Company that is just a tad misleading and homophobic (similar to the poster above).
Release date: December 11, 2009 (Limited)
Directed by: Tom Ford
Written by: Christopher Isherwood (Novel), Tom Ford and David Scearce (Screenplay)
Starring: Colin Firth (won Coppa Volpi for Best Actor at Venice Film Festival), Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode, Nicholas Hoult
Distributed by: The Weinstein Company
Amy Taubin on A Single Man in the November/December issue of Film Comment: "The flashback sequence where George receives the telephone call informing him of Jim's death, and, by the way, that George isn't welcome at the funeral which is for family only, is almost entirely composed of a single unbroken take. We see George's face freeze in shock and then dissolve into grief as the realization that he has lost the love of his life overcomes him. It is an amazing piece of acting, and, also, a display of trust on the part of Tom Ford, who has the courage not to cut away or gussy it up."
Expect an analysis upon my viewing of this film; it looks like it could break into my top ten of the year.
