movies worth seeing: a single man

tom ford's directorial debut, a single man, was amazing.
colin firth never ceases to amaze me.

The film centers on a middle-aged English professor, George Falconer, who is still struggling with life after his partner, Jim, dies.
It follows a day in his life -- the day when he decides to commit suicide. Throughout this day, he narrates for us. He takes us back to times where Jim was still alive and he shows us how he doesn't see much in his future.

The film changes colors quite frequently. Flashbacks tended to be more saturated than reality, implying that Falconer lived mostly in the past, I presume. Though, reality, at some points, were fully saturated as well.

Much emphasis was placed on the architecture and the fashion of the 60s, which was beautiful. The house that Colin Firth's character, George Falconer, stayed in was breathtaking -- a house of glass.

The film was quite beautiful, and I loved it.
