A SINGLE MAN is based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, it is the story of a British college professor (Colin Firth, in an Oscar nominated role) who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner. The story is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.

Nominated for three Golden Globes: Best Actor (Colin Firth), Best Supporting Actress (Julianne Moore), & Best Original Score! Now nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor (Firth)!

Like the speck of sand that seeds a pearl, it’s the tiny fleck of kitsch at the heart of “A Single Man” that makes it luminous and treasurable, despite its imperfections. -- Leslie Felperin, Variety

Colin Firth isn't the only reason to see A Single Man, but he's certainly the best. -- Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

Wrenching and ravishing. ... An exquisite, almost sensual grief suffuses every frame. -- Bob Mondello, NPR

This is a wonderful movie. -- A.O. Scott, New York Times
