A SINGLE MAN, Tom Ford's first film is well directed, well written and boasts strong performances by Colin Firth and Juliane Moore. A SINGLE MAN is an American Drama that explores a critical day in the life of George Falconer (Firth) as he becomes depressed and existential on hearing the deadly news of his lovers tragic car accident.What stands out most in the film is the amazing framing, photography and production design. There is also a dynamic use of color grading which stands out in an amateurish way, but, as mentioned, overall, this is strong film.
Now, what stands out to us at this Film Status Blog after the Oscars on ABC is the inability of Tom Ford to show his teeth. Throughout the ceremony, and now we have discovered, in every picture on IMDB Tom Ford never shows his teeth when he smiles. He looks like he is constantly posing resulting in a fake, tense, robotic stance at all times. Whoever makes his wax statue will have an easy job!
