A Single Man is the first work of Tom Ford in film industry and has nothing to envy movies from well acclaimed directors. I actually got to see this picture after the tremendous success of Nocturnal Animals.

As in that film, here there is a perfect blend between human drama with crude action. Interesting thing is that, the drama not only involves social relationships, but also mid-age crisis, which certainly combines with an outrageous incident, shaking the protagonist life, living him (her in Nocturnal Animals) naked and alone facing the contemporary world.

These, surely, makes them doubt the present, revive the past and let the future drift. The thing with Tom Ford and what makes so unique his direction; is that without neglecting clue aspects like screenplay, music and performances (which are wit, straight to the point and superb, especially Colin Firth), some accessory features take an important part in the significance of the film, changes in illumination, costume design and make-up; all together in full coherence with the rest of the film.
