Single Man, A

While contemplating suicide after learning that his younger architect partner (Matthew Goode) of 16 years has died in a tragic car accident in 1962 in this well-acted, sensual, heartbreaking film, which is based on Christopher Isherwood's book and punctuated with beautiful images, a handsome, emotionally distraught, cigarette-smoking, 52-year-old English professor (Colin Firth) in Los Angeles reminisces about his relationship with a former hard-drinking lover (Julianne Moore) and sees a glimmer of hope for the future when he is befriended by an attractive, concerned student (Nicholas Hoult).
