A Single Man

Definitely a movie written and directed by a fashion designer (Tom Ford), A Single Man features perfect haircuts, immaculately tailored suits, freakishly beautiful people (even the extras!) and expert use of light, color and lenses. What it lacks in plot and story is made up for by a strong, heartfelt performance from Colin Firth as a widower shattered by the death of his beloved. Granted, it meanders a bit, but that just allows more time to admire the meticulous array of period details, leading us through a beautifully designed but sad world where a heartbroken man wanders alone.
