A Single Man (2009)
8/10
An older man's take on the question to be or not to be.
25 June 2024
Based on the book by Christopher Isherwood, this film centers on George, a college professor, who was lucky enough to met his mate and then the young man died in an accident. Colin Firth plays the college professor. He's so much more able to show his acting chops here than he did as Darcy in Pride & Prejudice. Jon Kortajarena's plays a hustler that George seeks some comfort from. The beautiful young man ,Nicholas Hoult plays one of the professor's students who also has some romantic interest in our grieving main character.

I'm generally of the book was better than the movie crowd but it had been so long since I read the book (which I recalled being somewhat disappointed in) that I thoroughly enjoyed the film. But then again, I seem to recall that my interest in the book stemmed from an excerpt from the young man's POV.
