It is beautifully shot and the most depressing movie maybe ever. Not only do we get to imagine a lover of 15+ years dying and leaving us to fend for ourselves but then we are also reminded to seize the day for you could always get hit by a truck crossing the street when you least expect it.
The whole thing feels like a Chanel ad where beautiful things are fuzzy and moving in slow motion.
Juliane Moore is insipid as always. What artistes they all are! (Except I actually think Colin Firth does an incredible job.)
I decided to see the film after watching Tom Ford sell it on Charlie Rose for an hour. Charlie Rose needs to be less of a shill.
I saw the movie yesterday and I could not agree more with these comments. For some reason, Julianne Moore annoyed me doing her version of an English accent. I also recently saw "An Education", and Peter Saarsgard did not bother me at all with his English accent.
"A Single Man" is clearly not "the feel-good movie of the season", but I didn't realize it was going to be such a downer. On the other hand, it is beautifully photographed - just as the previous post says, like an extended perfume commercial.
