A Single Man is a 2009 American drama film directed by Tom Ford. The film is based on the Christopher Isherwood novel of the same name and stars Colin Firth as the protagonist George Falconer, a gay British college professor living in Southern California in the 1960s. The rest of the cast includes Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode, and Nicholas Hoult. The film is Ford’s directorial debut, coming off a career and experience with fashion design.
Ford financed the film himself.
After the film screened at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival, The Weinstein Company picked it up for distribution in the United States and Germany. They plan an initial limited run in the U.S. in December 2009 to qualify it for the 82nd Academy Awards with a wider release in early 2010.
