A Single Man **** (2009, Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode, Nicholas Hoult) – Classic Movie Review 4320
Films come and go, but writer-director Tom Ford’s outstanding 2009 drama will stay in the mind and on the screen, thanks partly to Christopher Isherwood’s source story, partly to the film’s extraordinarily high quality, partly to […]
