A Single Man is Colin Firth, rather than Colin Firth being a single man. This is a one man show in L.A. in the 60's. A professor who has lost his long time life-partner in a car accident, and about his days now. It also touches on gay issues from those days, while they might not have changed that much in some ways.
I give Firth a lot of credit for his acting, but sadly director Tom Ford spend this film doing propaganda for a gay lifestyle, rather than tell his story. If he'd done it the other way around he might have both gotten his point better across and managed to make a really good movie. This way I only take with me Firth's acting with a limited script, even when the bottom line had a story screaming to get the attention.
