Fashionistas adore Tom Ford. He's the fashion designer who transformed Gucci from tacky to terrific in the 1990s and in doing so lit a fire under the entire luxury goods sector. So how did he do in his premier role as a movie director/writer/producer? Impeccably.
"A Single Man," based on a book by Christopher Isherwood (Cabaret), just might be the most stylish film to accessorize the big screen — ever. But Ford didn't stop there. He also coaxed out first-rate performances from his actors, especially Colin Firth, a single man, college professor, and all around gay guy, who's longtime lover dies in a car crash.
We watch George stumble — ever so stylishly — through his grief. And despite looking like he just stepped out of a Gucci Pour Homme magazine ad, we feel his pain.
Homophobes should skip this flick. For everyone else, especially Julianne Moore fans, it's a must-see.
