A Single Man
I’ve seen a lot of movies lately, but this one is different. A Single Man is a story about a British college professor who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner. For me personally, the most significant thing about this movie is the cinematography. Every shot in this movie —and I really mean every shot— is just awesome. I think every still in the movie is a very good picture on itself. The cinematographer (Director of Photography) Eduard Grau did a great job imho… respect!! Here are a few movie stills that prove they are great pictures too (note: no editing done, the movie is like the pictures, even with the grain, the colors, and some scenes in high-contrast black and white).
Not all credit should go to Eduard Grau though, the movie is directed by fashion designer Tom Ford. Tom Ford was creative director of Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent before he started his own brand. This is his debut as a movie director and he has done really well. Read this NYT article if you’re interested in more and make sure to go to see the movie, because it’s going to win an Oscar, that’s for sure!
