This December there are so many movies on my "Must See" list that I wonder when I will get around to seeing the limited release of designer-turned-filmmaker Tom Ford' s A Single Man. Set in Los Angeles, 1962, British college professor, George (Colin Firth) is torn over the death of his longterm lover and partner and struggles to find if there is meaning to his life after Jim's death. The movie takes place over the course of a day where several events unfold that keep George questioning his existence and searching for the meaning of his life. He seeks comfort from his dear friend, Charley (Julianne Moore), who is also pondering similar relevance to her life post divorce. The movie sounds deep but I am looking forward to seeing Colin Firth in Tom Ford suits and somewhat representing an autobiographical glimpse into Tom Ford's meticulous, perfect life. While George is falling apart on the inside but keeping it together from hat to polished shoe on the outside, there is hope and a profound understanding to cherish the important things in life sans materialism.
