A Single Man

Though Tom Ford's "A Single Man" sometimes gives you the feel of more style than substance, you won't mind it because you know the style is from the hand of a master. Beautifully shot, with an impeccable choice of cast and pitch perfect soundtrack, the movie reminds me Stephen Daldry's "The Hours". Like "The Hours", the main events of the movie happened in a single day*. In fact, nothing much had happened, just life as usual, a few moments of truth, then the movie came to an end. Yet, that seems to be enough. After all, isn't it for the moment of truth, the moment of feeling truly alive, that we go to movies?

* Christopher Isherwood certainly had "Mrs Dalloway" in mind when he wrote the book.
