I like to iron my business shirts and shine my shoes for a couple of hours every Sunday evening. Doing this I either need to have "A single man" (movie) in the background running, or at least the amazing soundtrack playing.
Tom Ford has always been amazing at whatever he does and i truly find him to be a incredible "artist" and creator. I was more than sceptical when hearing about him making a movie out of nowhere.
This movie is a work of art. It is like watching an opera or going to an art gallery, but without the boring parts. Every scene can be paused and one find oneself staring at an amazing image, almost too beautiful to grasp.
I love the details. I love how George brushes his black toe-cap Oxford shoes in the morning. I love he dresses in slow-motion in the morning to a classic symphony by the amazing Shigeru Umeyabashi, which creates the elegant and mysterious environment. But most of all. I absolute adore how Tom Ford uses colours to set an atmosphere to the scene. For example; George wants to dies, his life is grey and even the films seems grey, but on this last day of living he starts to see some beauty in the world. This could be the lipstick on his secretary or the young tennis-player playing a game in front of him, when all of a sudden the grey is replaced by the warmest of colours. He finally sees beauty and maybe somewhere appreciates his life.
Thank God for this movie.
