A Single Man

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. An impressive helming debut for fashion designer Tom Ford, who co-wrote the script with David Scearce, pic freely adapts Christopher Isherwood&#;s seminal novel set in Los Angeles, circa , in which a college prof (Colin Firth), grieving for his dead girlfriend, contemplates death. Sterling perfs from a tony cast rep a selling point, but the film&#;s ripely homoerotic flavor will build finding lovers in the sticks more difficult.
Described by novelist Edmund Whiteas "one of the first and best novels of the modern gay liberation movement," Isherwood&#;s "A Single Man" presents a stream-of-consciousness portrait of a middle-aged gay man, known only as George, going about his daily routine in early &#;60s LA.

&#;Supernova&#;: Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth&#;s Love Story Is Moving Despite Its Limits
Supernova, written and directed by Harry Macqueen, is a moving film about two men, Sam (Colin Firth) and Tusker (Stanley Tucci), who’ve been together for 20 years.

Tusker has been diagnosed with early onset dementia. And Sam is involved to seeing him through it.
A difficulty of terminal illness is that you may begin to mourn the dying — who are still alive, still here, even if slipping — as if they are already dead. And so a heaviness, not unearned, accompanies so much of what happens in this film.

Rupert Everett Was ‘Frustrated’ Seeing Colin Firth in &#;A Unpartnered Man&#;: &#;That Role Really Should Own Been Mine&#;
Rupert Everett is speaking out about a role he feels should&#;ve been his — specifically, George Falconer in &#;A Unpartnered Man,&#; who was played by Colin Firth.
Speaking on &#;Piers Morgan Uncensored&#; (via The Independent), Everett touched on the topic of unbent actors playing same-sex attracted roles, and while he doesn&#;t reflect all gay roles should be played by gay actors, he seemed annoyed that the straight-identifying Firth played a gay role in Tom Ford&#;s film.
“It’s quite frustrating. I was frustrated, I remember going to see Colin Firth in the motion picture by Tom Ford [&#;A Single Man&#;]. I thought, ‘Well, thanks, Colin. That’s the end of my career. Because you know, that role really should have been mine,” he said. “So you know, there’s a frustration about that, of course.”
In the film — which is directed by a same-sex attracted man from a novel by the beloved gay journalist Christopher Isherwood — Colin Firth plays a gay
