A Single Man Article
Really interesting interview from the Advocate about Tom Ford's new film "A Single Man". A story that takes place during the Cuban Missile crisis about a gay man whose lover has died in a card accident. It follows him on one day where at the end of the day he plans on killing himself.
It looks simply amazing.
Here is an excerpt from the interview that makes me love Colin Firth even more.
Whether you’re flirting at a bar or just reading together on the sofa, you appear so comfortable on-screen with Matthew Goode, who plays George’s partner, Jim, in flashbacks. Because you don’t share the same sexual experiences with men in real life, is it any more challenging to achieve that truthful level of intimacy with a man than it is with a woman?
No, I didn’t find it difficult. Matthew’s a good kisser, for a start, but there’s not that much of a difference, quite frankly. If you really dislike or aren’t attracted to your acting partner anyway, it doesn’t make much difference if it’s a man or a woman. I’m still channeling something that comes from myself about what it is to ache for somebody or want to have sex with somebody, so you use your imagination regardless.

It's already out in the States, but not anywhere near me so I'm just living vicariously through review and the clips getting posted online. It's already been nominated for several Golden Globes and Screen Actor's Guild awards. Can't wait to see it!
