A Single Man

A Single Man (2009) is Tom Ford's drama you can watch online on iFILM. Los Angeles, the early 1960s. One day in the life of a man who has already decided it will be his last.

George Falconer teaches English literature at a California college. Eight months earlier a car crash killed Jim, his partner of sixteen years, and George has to grieve in a country that gives him no room to mourn openly. Colin Firth carries the film almost without dialogue, in a glance, a held breath, an unsteady hand. Beside him is Charley, an old friend played by Julianne Moore who clings to the past as hard as he does, and a student named Kenny (Nicholas Hoult) who pulls George back toward the small pleasures of being alive.

This was fashion designer Tom Ford's directing debut, adapted from Christopher Isherwood's novel. Firth earned an Oscar nomination and the Volpi Cup in Venice for the role. Every frame is composed like a photograph, with shifting color, fabric and the light of the era. Stream A Single Man (2009) online on iFILM in high quality.
