Using the Five W's to tell you what a film is all about.
A Single Man

WHAT: A drama focusing on the life of a gay college professor in the aftermath of the tragic death of his longtime partner in the 1960’s.
WHEN: 1962, post Cuban missile crisis
WHERE IT TAKES PLACE: Los Angeles
WHY SEE IT: For the fashion and set design. Fans of designer Tom Ford (also the film’s director) and fans of the show Mad Men will be rewarded with eye candy, but viewers in search of a story will be left wanting more by a thin plot and a laughable conclusion.
