SYNOPSIS:
Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, A SINGLE MAN, is the story of George Falconer, a 52 year old British college professor [Colin Firth] who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner, Jim [Matthew Goode]. George dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim. George is consoled by his closest friend Charley [Julianne Moore], a 48 year old beauty who is wrestling with her questions about the future. A young student of George’s, Kenny [Nicholas Hoult], who is coming to terms with his true nature, stalks George as he feels in him a kindred spirit. A SINGLE MAN 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. Based on the 1964 novel of the same title by Christopher Isherwood, A SINGLE MAN was written, directed and produced for the screen by Tom Ford.
Colin Firth won a Best Actor award at the 66th Venice International Film Festival for his part in A SINGLE MAN. He has also received the Golden Globe Nomination for Best Actor and a Best Actor nomination in the 82nd Academy Awards. Julianne Moore is nominated as Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globe Awards. Music by Abel Korzeniowski and additional music by Shigeru Umebayashi has been nominated for the Best Original Score at the Golden Globe Awards.
