A Single Man

I saw this film on 26th March at Stratford Picture House

It's not often that I leave a film thinking "I want to see that again". That is how I felt after seeing this. It did not leave me feeling happy, or excited or in suspense but I wanted more. Set in 1962 it simultaneously gave a feel for that era and made then feel almost like now. Although there is the odd nude scene there is no explicit sex and does not need to be. The photography is superb. The story is mundane, sad and completely absorbing.

It's taken along time for A Single Man to make it to Stratford. Now it is here go to see it.
