MOVIE: A Single Man Set in LA in 1962, this is one day in the life of George Falconer (Firth), an English professor teaching at a college in LA. George is struggling to cope after the accidental death of his life partner Jim (Goode) eight months earlier. Their relationship is told in flashback sequences and it’s clear that he is still deep in grief. George has decided to get his affairs in order before committing suicide that evening. As he sets about his ordered routine of going to work, his friend Charley (Moore), who is not doing so well herself, calls him that morning with a dinner invitation. Charley is an old friend he knew from England and a bit of a drama queen, who still romantically desires him after a brief affair that didn’t work out. They were simpler better at being best friends. After one of his classes, he is approached by Kenny (Hoult) a student who suspects his inclinations and is keen to get to know his professor beyond college, but this is at a time when being gay was not socially acceptable. He returns home, writes farewell letters, but can’t bring himself to pull the trigger. So he goes to see Charley and they spend the evening together. In her self- obsessed manner, she makes the mistake of diminishing his life with Jim by branding it as “not a proper relationship” and we see George’s outwardly calm exterior hides a pit of pain. This is one of the most beautifully crafted films I’ve seen in a long time. The director is a fashion designer and this comes through in the immense sense of style and beauty of every scene. Even so, the film is full of substance and the actors are all brilliant. Firth deserves an award for his performance.
