Waking up begins with saying am and now. For the past eight months waking up has actually hurt. The cold realization that I am still here slowly sets in.
Tom Ford’s directorial debut A Single Man is a quiet, emotive and beautiful film. Based on Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel of the same name, the film is essentially a snapshot in time – a day in the life of college professor George Falconer (Colin Firth). The film focuses on Falconer as he tries to negotiate the simple act of living following the death of Jim, his partner of sixteen years. The time is the early 1960s, when sexual acts between men were still criminalised and the mood was one of fear and uncertainty following the Cuban missile crisis. Set in Stanford, the film follows Falconer over the course of the day he decides to take his own life.
