Single Man, A

Single Man, A

Based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man is set in Los Angeles in 1962 at the height of the Cuban missile crisis. The film tells the story of a British college professor (Colin Firth) who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his longtime partner (Matthew Goode). 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.
